Guernika

SC 3.3/10 

Year: 1937
Country: Spain
Section: documentary
Tags: girl
Description: The film contains documentary images of the Basque Country, the ruins of Gernika after the bombing and the departure of the Basque children and their exile in France, Great Britain and Belgium. This documentary therefore brings us closer to the Basque nationalist vision of the war, aimed mainly at foreign propaganda. Guernika starts from the vision of a peaceful, hard-working and Catholic Basque people who breaks away from the outbreak of war, to conclude with a call for solidarity from international democracy.

Description: The film consists of conversations among women on the first feminist camp. We receive a strong impression of their freshly gained curiosity and openness towards themselves and each other as they try to understand and analyse their lives as women. Through the film runs as an undercurrent that the aftermath of the camp will be new feminist relationships.

Polioepidemien i København

SC 8.1/10 

Year: 1952
Country: Denmark
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, medical check
Description: In 1952, the largest polio epidemic hit Denmark, with Copenhagen in particular being particularly hard hit. Polio mostly affected children and young people, and most were admitted to Blegdamshospitalet in Copenhagen, which treated around 3,000 patients with an average age of 11 years between 24 July and 31 December 1952. 866 patients had paralysis of the arms or legs, and 316 had paralysis of the respiratory muscles and were therefore unable to breathe on their own. Some of them were fitted with an 'iron lung' - what we today call a respirator. Others had a tracheotomy - a hole in the throat leading directly into the windpipe. The film shows a number of technical aids for respiration and the procedure itself is demonstrated.
During the polio epidemic in 1952, Blegdamshospitalet became world-famous for introducing ventilator treatment to combat respiratory paralysis.
