Mary Ward Centre students capture Hunterian Museum collection on film - Until end September 2010
A new short film, Encounters: 10 words to John Hunter, will be screened at the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). The film, which runs from Tuesday 6th July until the end of September 2010, has been produced in collaboration with adults aged 60 and over from the Mary Ward Centre for Adult Education in Bloomsbury, and explores some of the historic specimens and surgical instruments on display at the medical museum. 

The eight minute movie showcases the film-making skills of eleven local adult learners who use mixed audio and video clips to explain their own personal interpretation of some of the fascinating specimens on display at the Hunterian Museum, including Winston Churchill’s dentures and a two-tailed lizard. 

Eve Ramon from the Mary Ward Centre over 60’s club said:
“Making this film has been a wonderful experience, it has allowed me to developed new technical skills, appreciate the intricate detail of parts of the human anatomy, and discover a wonderful museum on my doorstep.”

Jane Hughes, Head of Learning and Access at the Hunterian Museum said:
“Medicine at the Movies was an excellent project that brought the museum together with older learners from the local community. The film that they produced has given us unique personal insights into the museum’s collections and helped the learners to develop new skills and confidence about working with new technology.”
