A Special Evening

“We are witnessing the most important technocultural medical revolution of the past century.”–The first generation of e-patients, Tom Ferguson and Gilles Frydman, BMJ 2004

Healthcare has been defined by the physicians and institutions with near complete disregard for the patient, the most important person in the healthcare web.  This dynamic is changing. Patients are taking health into their own hands by building communities, even developing their own treatments. With these radical developments it is inevitable that there are unforeseen problems.

Join us for celebrating the start of this project. We will be sharing drinks, stories and some original videos.

Hi California! Join us for FREE workshops and screenings with Super 8 goddess Dagie Brundert! Fun for the whole family!

About Dagie Brundert

I was born in a small town in the middle of West Germany. Beautiful nature, but boring after a while… I moved to Berlin and studied visual arts / experimental film. Fell in love with my Super 8 camera (Nizo) in 1988. Since then I try to be a particle-finder, a wave-catcher and a good story-teller. I try to absorb weird beautiful things from this world. Chew them and spit them out again. http://dagiebrundert.de/

About Echo Park Film Center and the LA AIRport

Echo Park Film Center is a non-profit media arts organization providing equal and affordable community access to film/video resources. With a special focus on youth and media-marginalized populations, EPFC programs and services use cinema as catalyst to inspire, educate and activate people around the world. Reimagining the traditional artist residency as street-level engagement, EPFC’s LA AIRport is an eco-friendly custom trailer funded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that transforms itself into a mobile residency space, cinema/projection portal and analog film lab in the blink of an eye!  http://www.archive.echoparkfilmcenter.org/
