On The Shoulders Of Giants
The History of NYU Langone Orthopedics.
From hardscrabble beginnings to its status as a pioneering institution, the history of NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital is brought to life through orthopedics’ evolution in the U.S. and how the specialty was advanced through innovation, diversity and education.
ALTINA
Altina is an affecting, provocative, and richly informative documentary about an American trendsetter who anticipated feminism by decades. Free of academic constraints and confident in her keen intellect, she crafted fragments of her life into sculptures that defined her surreal and original world.
The disappeared
The Disappeared (2008) summons the horrors of Argentina’s Dirty War (1976-83) through the experience of Horacio Pietragalla, a young man raised by the maid of the officer who kidnapped him after the military brutally murdered his parents. The film follows Horacio as he reconstructs the cause for which his real parents gave their lives, and, through this search, reclaims his true identity. This personal journey internalizes the tragedy that ravaged the country and exposes polarized views on state-driven terrorism.
