The Screening Room is a film series that explores the pulpy relationships between science and medicine. Drawing on themes from 'The Patient', the films probe the progression of medical and scientific ideas in popular culture and cinematic history, and grapple with the experiences of trauma, death, transformation, pain and the body.

Presented in conjunction with 'The Patient' at UNSW Galleries. 

'The Patient' explores the ways in which artists engage with powerful human experiences in the fields of health, biological science and medicine, contributing to discourse on the representation of illness, disease, care, individual agency and what it is to be human. Artists present new experimental works and ongoing projects across a range of media, connecting to us as viewers (and participants) in ways that are variously difficult, fearless, funny and sometimes unlovely.
