The Politics and Aesthetics of Male Homosexuality in Malayalam Cinema: Contextualizing the Film Ka Bodyscapes (2016).

Focusing on the Malayalam film Ka Bodyscapes (2016), this article attempts to historically trace and critically engage with the representations of gay sexuality in Malayalam cinema from the South Indian state of Kerala. It interrogates how Ka Bodyscapes brought to the forefront hitherto unexplored visual dynamics of the gay male body and homoeroticism on screen while troubling the heterosexual dynamics of the Malayalam film industry. By situating this film within the history of representation of male homosexuality in Malayalam cinema and the changing regimes of queer politics and feminist interventions in Kerala in the last decade, the article argues how the film's radical visual representation of gay sexuality at the intersection of caste and religion problematizes the heterosexual family/state, thereby challenging the patriarchal masculinity that marginalizes women and sexual minorities in Kerala.

Risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 transmission during a movie theater outbreak in Incheon in the Republic of Korea, November 2021: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: We examined factors contributing to the transmission of an acute respiratory virus within multi-use facilities, focusing on an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a movie theater in the Republic of Korea. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study involved a descriptive analysis of 48 confirmed cases. Logistic regression was applied to a cohort of 80 theater attendees to identify risk factors for infection. The infection source and transmission route were determined through gene sequencing data analysis. RESULTS: Of the 48 confirmed cases, 35 were theater attendees (72.9%), 10 were family members of attendees (20.8%), 2 were friends (4.2%), and 1 was an employee (2.1%). Among the 80 individuals who attended the 3rd to 5th screenings of the day, 35 became infected, representing a 43.8% attack rate. Specifically, 28 of the 33 third-screening attendees developed confirmed SARSCoV-2, constituting an 84.8% attack rate. Furthermore, 11 of the 12 cases epidemiologically linked to the theater outbreak were clustered monophyletically within the AY.69 lineage. At the time of the screening, 35 individuals (72.9%) had received 2 vaccine doses. However, vaccination status did not significantly influence infection risk. Multivariate analysis revealed that close contacts had a 15.9-fold higher risk of infection (95% confidence interval, 4.37-78.39) than casual contacts. CONCLUSION: SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurred within the theater, and extended into the community, via a moviegoer who attended the 3rd screening during the viral incubation period after contracting the virus from a family member. This study emphasizes the importance of adequate ventilation in theaters.

El corporativismo médico en el cine / Medical corporatism in cinema

Realizamos una búsqueda sistemática de películas utilizando los términos corporativismo y medicina en sitios web especializados sin importar la duración, nacionalidad, género o año de producción. Excluimos las películas animadas y series de television. Tras visionar 24 películas, seleccionamos seis de ellas buscando que fueran films de calidad, que no fueran muy conocidos y que el corporativismo formara parte importante del guion. En todos ellos y en diferentes formatos (comedia, drama, …) el corporativismo se presenta como una forma de corrupción en la que pueden caer los médicos, teniendo estos que anteponer siempre la salud del paciente y no sus intereses y prebendas. El análisis y comentario de todas estas películas puede ser de gran utilidad para la enseñanza de las ciencias de la salud, ayudando a evitar situaciones indeseables que tengan como responsable al corporativismo.(AU)

We carry out a systematic search for films on specialized websites regardless of duration, nationality, genre or year of production. The exclusion criteria were: animated films and television series. After viewing 24 films, we selected six of them looking for quality films, not very well-known and for corporatism to form an important part of the script. In all of them and in different formats (comedy, drama, …) corporatism is presented as a form of corruption that doctors can fall into, having to always put the patient's health first and not his interests and perks. The analysis and commentary of all these films can be very useful for the teaching of health sciences, helping to avoid undesirable situations that have corporatism as responsible.(AU)

Sintonía sin hogar. Historia de un solista solitario / Homeless tune. Story of a lonely soloist

El sinhogarismo supone un problema sociosanitario emergente relacionado principalmente con el desarrollo de patologías mentales y con diversas adicciones. La película El solista, dirigida por Joe Wright, representa un instrumento de gran utilidad para entender esta cuestión dado que revela el caso real de un músico que padece esquizofrenia y que vive en la calle, el señor Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Junior. Al mismo tiempo, la película permite analizar las circunstancias que le llevaron a esa situación y los factores que influyen en el proceso de inclusión social. Por lo tanto, se defiende el empleo de esta película como recurso pedagógico para la formación de estudiantes y profesionales.(AU)

Homelessness is an emerging socio-sanitary problem principally related to the development of mental pathologies and various addictions. The film The Soloist, directed by Joe Wright, represents a very useful resource to understand this issue since it reveals the real case of a musician who suffers from schizophrenia and who is homeless, Mr. Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Junior. At the same time, the film allows to analyze the circumstances that led him to this situation and the factors involved in the social inclusion process. Hence, the use of this film as a pedagogical resource for the training of students and professionals is defended.(AU)

Cine debate y racialidad en la facultad de medicina n 1 de Santiago de Cuba / Cinema debate and raciality at the No. 1 medical school in Santiago de Cuba

La educación a través del cine constituye un exponente de concientización contra la discriminación racial y sus efectos. En la Facultad de Medicina No.1 de Santiago de Cuba se facilita el debate de filmes que abordan este asunto, partiendo del intercambio creativo y reflexivo con estudiantes y docentes según las situaciones complejas de diversas épocas que se reflejan en los materiales exhibidos y su paralelismo en la actualidad mundial, y en las complejas situaciones que prevalecen en la sociedad cubana.(AU)

Education through cinema is an exponent of awareness against racial discrimination and its effects. In the Faculty of Medicine No.1 of Santiago de Cuba the debate of films that promotes activity based on the creative and reflective exchange with students and teachers according to the complex situations of different times that are reflected in the exhibited materials and their parallelism in world news and the complex situations that prevail in Cuban society.(AU)

Pygmalion (1938): un filme relacionado indirectamente con la medicina / Pygmalion (1938): a film indirectly related to medicine

Este trabajo se focaliza en el filme Pygmalion (1938) de Anthony Asquith y Leslie Howard, relacionado indirectamente con la Medicina y basado en la obra teatral del escritor irlandés George Bernard Shaw inspirada en el Libro X de Las metamorfosis de Ovidio. Empero, no es descartable que, entre otros, Shaw pudo haber sido también influido por el romance histórico entre el médico alemán Friedrich Gustav Jacob Henle y la costurera Elise Egloff, a través de la novela Die Frau Professorin de Berthold Auerbach. Su distinta ubicación en lugar y tiempo, el cambio desde el hecho escultórico original a una desigualdad socio-cultural y la llamativa identidad de nombres entre Elise y Eliza contribuyen a esta probabilidad.(AU)

This paper focuses on the film Pygmalion (1938), indirectly related to Medicine and based on the play by the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw, inspired in Book X of Ovid's Metamorphoses. However, it cannot be ruled out that, among others, Shaw may have been also influenced by the historical romance between the German doctor Friedrich Gustav Jacob Henle and the seamstress Elise Egloff, through the novel Die Frau Professorin by Berthold Auerbach. Its different location in place and time, the change from the original sculptural fact to a socio-cultural inequality and the striking identity of names between Elise and Eliza contribute to this probability.(AU)

El embarazo en adolescentes a través del séptimo arte / Pregnancy in teenagers through the seventh art

Los embarazos en adolescentes se describen como embarazos en mujeres que no han alcanzado la mayoría de edad jurídica y están en situación de dependencia de la familia de origen. El embarazo suele implicar un riesgo en la trayectoria vital de las madres y padres adolescentes y un serio y prevalente problema médico-social. Por todo ello, el embarazo de la adolescente se convierte en una consulta «sagrada». Y el cine se convierte en una oportunidad para hablar con arte, ciencia y conciencia de un tema de trascendental importancia, así como una oportunidad para mejorar la relación profesional-paciente, para mejorar la humanización y para abrir el debate bioético. En este artículo os invitamos a vivir las emociones y reflexiones de la maternidad y el embarazo en alrededor de 40 películas, historias entre la ficción y la realidad. Y donde nos atrevemos a «prescribir» las siguientes: la película británica Un sabor a miel, la belga 9 meses, la estadounidense Nunca, casi nunca, a veces, siempre, la francesa El acontecimiento y la española La maternal; y como guinda, Juno, una película que más en tono de comedia que drama, capaz de incomodar a todas las partes.(AU)

Adolescent pregnancies encompass instances where women have not yet attained the legal age of majority and remain reliant on their family of origin. The phase of pregnancy during adolescence inherently introduces risks into the trajectories of both young mothers and fathers, forming a significant and widespread medical-social challenge. Consequently, an adolescent's pregnancy becomes a pivotal juncture for medical consultation, while cinema emerges as an influential platform to engage with this crucial theme from artistic, scientific, and awareness-driven perspectives. It not only fosters an opportunity to enrich the professional-patient relationship and advance humanization but also initiates profound discussions on bioethics. Within the confines of this article, we cordially invite you to delve into the emotional and contemplative dimensions of motherhood and pregnancy portrayed across nearly 40 films, each straddling the realms of fiction and reality. Moreover, we dare to "prescribe" the subsequent cinematic pieces: the British production A Taste of Honey, the Belgian creation Keeper, the American narrative Never Rarely Sometimes Always, the French cinematic gem L'événement, and the Spanish masterpiece La maternal. Adding to this repertoire is Juno, a film that skews more toward comedy than drama, deliberately invoking discomfort within diverse contexts.(AU)

“Como nossos pais”: o feminino no cinema e a pesquisa-espectação / “Just like our parents”: the feminine in cinema an research-speactation

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa realizada a partir do filme “Como nossos pais” (2017) de Laís Bodanzky. O objetivo foi compreender o papel do feminino orientado pelas lentes de uma pesquisa espectação. A dimensão metodológica foi dirigida pela pesquisa espec-tação, perspectiva que aborda a obra pelos afetos, efeitos e detalhes percebidos pelo especta-dor investigador. O processo analítico foi protagonizado pelas relações entre arte e política, especialmente, a ideia do “espectador emancipado” e a dimensão política da arte. Os desdo-bramentos da presente pesquisa remetem aos estereótipos do feminino construídos e naturali-zados socialmente nos filmes, além das construções do cinema como campos de investigação do imaginário social e as possibilidades de se conhecer outra(s) realidade(s) a partir do audiovisu-al. (AU)

His article presents the results of research realized from the movie “Como nossos pais” (2017) by Laís Bodanzky. The goal was to understand the imbricated genre relations in the movie via a spectation research guided by the lens of psychology and cinema. The methodological di-mension was directed by the spectation-research, perspective that approaches the title by its affections, effects and details noticed by the investigator spectator. The analytical process was starred by the relations between art and politics, especially the idea of “Espectador emancipado” and the political dimension of art. The unfolding of this research refers to the genre stereotypes builded and socially naturalized in movies, beyond the cinema constructions as the social imaginary investigation field, and the possibilities of knowing other(s) reality(ies) from the audiovisual.

Producción y distribución de largometrajes de ficción en maranhão: contradicciones de un mercado invisible en brasil

El estado de Maranhão ocupa un escenario peculiar en el mercado cinematográfico brasileño. Las producciones de ficción en forma de largometrajes tuvieron sus primeras incursiones a mediados de la década de 2000. En un marco desarrollado por la investigadora en su disertación de maestría en curso de História (Silva, 2018), y actualizado hasta 2022, catalogamos veintidós películas, solo seis de los cuales fueron registrados en la Agencia Nacional de Cine. La principal metodología utilizada fue la recolección e interpretación de datos, además de entrevistas no estructuradas o no estructuradas (Lakatos y Marconi, 2003). Como principales resultados podemos señalar: en Maranhão, el mercado es predominantemente informal, con momentos ocasionales de formalidad. La conclusión inicial de nuestra investigación es que el factor económico asociado a la falta de políticas públicas, sumado a la falta de cursos de educación superior en la zona, son los principales impulsores de este incipiente escenario.

The State of Maranhão occupies a peculiar scenario in the Brazilian film market. Fiction productions in the form of feature films had their first forays in the mid-2000s. In a framework developed by the researcher in her masters dissertation in History (Silva, 2018), and updated up to 2022, we cataloged twenty-two films, only six of which were registered in the National Film Agency. The main methodology to be used will be the collection and interpretation of data, in addition to unstructured or unstructured interviews (Lakatos and Marconi, 2003). As main results, we can point out that, in Maranhão, the market is predominantly informal with occasional moments of formality. The initial conclusion of our research is that the economic factor associated with the lack of public policies, added to the lack of higher education courses in the area, are the main drivers of this incipient scenario.

Effect of Subtitles on Gaze Behavior during Shot Changes: An Eye-tracking Study.

The study provides a comprehensive picture of the effect of subtitles on the gaze behavior of the participants while watching continuity editing and discontinuity editing style cinema. Three video clips (with English subtitles and without subtitles) of continuity editing and discontinuity editing styles were presented to participants. The video clips came from English movies and the participants were not native English speakers. Entry time, dwell time, first fixation time, scan path, and average fixation duration were taken as dependent variables in this within-group study. The eye-tracking data gathered were subjected to repeated measures of two-way ANOVA and paired t-test. Results revealed that the appearance of subtitles at the bottom of the screen changed the eye movement pattern of the participants during the shot changes. Timing of the subtitle starting point (before the cut or after the cut) also affected the gaze behavior. The editing style, however, did not make any difference in the gaze behavior of participants while watching subtitled video clips. Further, participants preferred reading subtitles to seeing visual images even if the subtitles were presented during the shot changes.

Este estudio provee una imagen completa del efecto de subtítulos en el comportamiento de la mirada en múltiples participantes viendo películas elaboradas con edición continua y discontinua. Tres videoclips (con y sin subtítulos en inglés) con estilos de edición continua y discontinua fueron presentados a los participantes. Los videoclips fueron extraídos de películas de habla inglesa, y los participantes no eran hablantes nativos de inglés. Tiempo de entrada, tiempo de permanencia, tiempo de primera fijación, trayectoria de escaneo, y duración promedio de fijación, fueron tomados como variables dependientes en este estudio entre grupos. La data de rastreo ocular recolectada fue sometida a un ANOVA de dos vías de medidas repetidas y a pruebas-t pareadas. Los resultados revelaron que la presencia de subtítulos en la parte baja de la pantalla cambió el patrón de movimiento ocular de los participantes durante los cambios de toma. El momento de aparición de los subtítulos (antes o después de los cortes) también afectó el comportamiento de la mirada. Sin embargo, el estilo de edición no generó ninguna diferencia en el comportamiento de la mirada de los participantes mientras veían los videoclips subtitulados. Adicionalmente, los participantes prefirieron leer los subtítulos que ver las imágenes visuales, incluso si estos subtítulos se presentaban durante cambios de toma.

Going vertical: examining the rise and impact of contemporary Russian sports cinema.

Introduction: While Hollywood has been central to the definition and popularisation of the genre internationally, sport cinema also has a significant presence in national cinemas across the world, though less research has been undertaken to date of the place of sport within European cinema and its growing importance in this context. This article will introduce a new database and online research platform (Sport in European Cinema, sportandfilm.eu) recently made publicly available which enables a deeper consideration of the significance of sport in European cinema, including its increasing importance in the Russian context. Indeed the third most commercially successful indigenous film ever released (as of 2023) at the Russian box office is a sports film, Движение вверх (Going Vertical (AKA Three Seconds) (2017). Methods: This article adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the place of sport in European cinema, including a case study of contemporary Russian sport cinema and its connection with broader political and ideological messaging. Results: Sport cinema has become an increasingly important part of European cinema, both in terms of number of films produced and their impact on European society, as evident in the case study provided of Russian sport cinema. Conclusion: This paper introduces a new research database dedicated to European Sport Cinema and identifies the increasing importance of sport cinema in the European context. It includes a case study of contemporary Russian sport cinema and identifies its role in articulating and affirming existing power structures and ideological hegemony within Russian society, as evident within Going Vertical and further recent Russian sport films in a particularly challenging period of national and international instability and contestation.

La soledad en el cine a propósito de Lost in translation (2003) y Her (2013) / Loneliness in Cinema Regarding Lost in Translation(2003) andHer (2013)

Este artículo analiza el concepto de soledad a través de un enfoque narrativo. Para ello se comparan las películas Lost in Translation de Sofía Coppola y Her de Spike Jonze. En ambas historias es posible apreciar a personajes acosados por la soledad. Este trabajo se apoya, por un lado, en la teoría de Robert Weiss sobre la soledad y, por otro lado, en la metodología empleada por Donio-Bellgade et al. quienes diseñaron una serie de categorías de soledad para analizar películas. En este estudio se han empleado las siguientes: 1) elección de la vida en solitario por decisión propia, 2) sentirse solo viviendo acompañado, 3) falta de apoyo social y 4) depresión e ideas suicidas. A partir de estas categorías de la soledad se analiza lo que sucede a los protagonistas de los dos filmes. (AU)

This article analyzes the concept of loneliness through a narrative approach. For this purpose, the films Lost in Translation by Sofía Coppola and Her by Spike Jonze are compared. In both stories, characters harassed by loneliness can be seen. This work is supported, on the one hand, by Robert Weiss' theory on loneliness and, on the other, the methodology used by Donio-Bellgade et al. who designed a series of loneliness categories to analyze films. In this study the following have been used: 1) choosing to live alone by choice, 2) feeling alone living with others, 3) lack of social support and 4) depression and suicidal ideas. Based on these categories of loneliness, we analyze what happens to the protagonists of the two films. (AU)

Paracelso y la medicina del Renacimiento en el cine / Paracelsus and the Medicine of the Renaissance in the Cinema

La breve, azarosa y fructífera vida de Paracelso, médico del siglo XVI, motivó en 1943, aproximadamente 400 años después de su muerte, a un film homenaje alemán que rescató un fragmento de su existencia. El rodaje y estreno se realizó en plena segunda guerra mundial y fue controlado rigurosamente por el nazismo. Esto produjo determinadas polémicas, aún vigentes, relacionadas con su director. Este trabajo intenta dar cuenta de ambos hechos. (AU)

The brief, eventful and fruitful life of Paracelsus, a 16th century doctor, motivated a German tribute film in 1943, approximately 400 years after his death that rescued a fragment of his existence. The filming and premiere took place during the Second World War and was rigorously controlled by the Nazis. This produced certain controversies, still in force, related to its director. This paper intends to portrait both facts. (AU)

Can a UV-C box help the cinema industry by disinfecting video cameras?

Introduction: UV-C has proven to be an effective virucide and microbicide, and its cost-effectiveness allowed it to spread as a disinfecting procedure in different environments. Methods: The study aims to determine the microbicide activity on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and SARS-CoV-2 of the UV-C Boxer by Cartoni S.p.A. Three separate experiments were performed to assess the effectiveness of the UV-C disinfection device on different materials, directly on surfaces of a video camera and on a specific carrier for SARS-CoV-2. Results: In all three experiments, a significant abatement of bacterial and viral contamination was reached after 60 seconds on carriers and after 3 minutes on all examined surfaces of the video camera, with a higher reduction on glass carriers. Conclusions: UV-C devices may be a valuable tool to implement in the working routine to achieve a higher level of safety in work environments.

Intersecting gender, ethnicity, and sexuality in Arantxa Echevarría's film Carmen & Lola (Spain, 2018).

Arantxa Echevarría's film Carmen y Lola (2018) takes a groundbreaking new approach to intersectionality and lesbian identity contextualizing a lesbian coming-of-age-story and its multicultural background and context. Owing to the colonial gaze and the outsider's perspective in the story telling, the film makes some major missteps in its representation of the Romani community in Spain. But nonetheless, the intersectional presentation is groundbreaking in terms of representation of lesbian diversity and experiences, since it portrays the lesbian subject as a triple minority: woman, lesbian, and Roma - a minority ethnic group still discriminated against in Spain. The story of two female Roma adolescents coming to terms with their mutual homoerotic desire intertwines with the marginality of their community and a conservative and homophobic environment in which lesbianism does not find a space. I argue that Echevarría's film explores the topics of minorities both in terms of ethnicity and sexual orientation. The director aims to represent this otherness as a marginalized and decentered subjectivity that intersects with other axes of discrimination. It is from this marginal position that the film explores the forms of resistance against the control of the lesbian body that women directors are carrying out in Spanish cinema.

Bioética e integración de la inteligencia artificial en la medicina: reflexiones desde el cine sobre la condición humana y la responsabilidad hacia las generaciones futuras / Bioethics and Integration of AI in Medicine: reflections from Cinema about the Human Condition and Responsibility towards Future Generations

La discusión sobre la ética en torno a la inteligencia artificial y la medicina ha ganado cada vez más relevancia en el ámbito académico y público. Independientemente de los diversos enfoques, hay un hecho innegable: la práctica médica y todos los agentes involucrados, tanto profesionales como usuarios, se verán condicionados por la inteligencia artificial. En este análisis ético narrativo, basado en el cine, se aborda la condición humana y la responsabilidad hacia las generaciones futuras como elementos cruciales dentro de la discusión bioética y fundamentales para lograr una incorporación reflexiva y coherente de la inteligencia artificial en la medicina. Como conclusión, se propone que la autenticidad, la responsabilidad y el diálogo son pilares esenciales en el proceso de integración de esta tecnología

The discussion on the ethics surrounding artificial intelligence and medicine has gained increasing relevance in the academic and public sphere. Regardless of the various approaches, there is an undeniable fact: medical practice and all the agents involved, both professionals and users, will be conditioned by artificial intelligence. In this narrative ethical analysis, based on cinema, the human condition and responsibility towards future generations are addressed as crucial elements within the bioethical discussion and fundamental to achieve a thoughtful and coherent incorporation of artificial intelligence in medicine. In conclusion, it is proposed that authenticity, responsibility and dialogue are essential pillars in the process of integration of this technology

Cinematographic continuity edits across shot scales and camera angles: an ERP analysis.

Film editing has attracted great theoretical and practical interest since the beginnings of cinematography. In recent times, the neural correlates of visual transitions at edit cuts have been at the focus of attention in neurocinematics. Many Event Related Potential (ERP) studies studies have reported the consequences of cuts involving narrative discontinuities, and violations of standard montage rules. However, less is known about edits that are meant to induce continuity. Here, we addressed the neural correlates of continuity editing involving scale, and angle variations across the cut within the same scene, two of the most popular devices used for continuity editing. We recorded the electroencephalographic signal obtained from 20 viewers as they watched four different cinematographic excerpts to extract ERPs at edit points. First, we were able to reproduce the general time and scalp distribution of the typical ERPs to filmic cuts in prior studies. Second, we found significant ERP modulations triggered by scale changes (scale out, scale in, or maintaining the same scale). Edits involving an increase in scale (scale out) led to amplification of the ERP deflection, and scale reduction (scale in) led to decreases, compared to edits that kept scale across the cut. These modulations coincide with the time window of the N300 and N400 components and, according to previous findings, their amplitude has been associated with the likelihood of consciously detecting the edit. Third, we did not detect similar modulations as a function of angle variations across the cut. Based on these findings, we suggest that cuts involving reduction of scale are more likely to go unnoticed, than ones that scale out. This relationship between scale in/out and visibility is documented in film edition manuals. Specifically, in order to achieve fluidity in a scene, the edition is designed from the most opened shots to the most closed ones.

Portrayal of illicit drug use in bollywood movies over the last two decades: A content analysis.

AIM: to analyse Bollywood movies depicting illicit drug use, released in last two decades, based on their content. METHODOLOGY: Online movie databases, source books and blogs were accessed along with Google search to compile a list of movies portraying illicit drug use in at least one character. Each movie was screened twice for details of character and drug use pattern. RESULTS: Total 22 movies depicting 25 characters were included in analysis. Majority of characters were male, young, students and affluent. Intoxication was the commonest state and social adversities were most common complications depicted. Treatment seeking was low and most common outcome was death. CONCLUSION: Cinematic depiction of drug use may promote some misconceptions among viewers. Alignment of cinematization with scientific knowledge is needed.

Osteogénesis Imperfecta: Entre la ficción y la realidad / Imperfect Osteogenesis: Between Fiction and Reality

Los largometrajes han sido utilizados como una herramienta de aprendizaje llamativa en el campo de la salud, esto debido a que ciertas enfermedades que suelen ser raras dentro de la población se prestan para desarrollar una historia en base a las mismas. La Osteogénesis imperfecta conocida también como la enfermedad de los huesos de cristal, es un trastorno genético bastante diverso, si bien el 90 % de los casos se presentan con mutaciones de herencia de tipo autosómicas dominantes, un 10 % restante corresponde a mutaciones autosómicas recesivas o de causa desconocida. En el presente trabajo hemos generado una recopilación de aspectos relevantes sobre esta enfermedad correlacionando con la trama de dos trabajos cinematográficos, Frágiles y El protegido; esto con el fin de analizarlo como una posible herramienta para el aprendizaje de esta enfermedad y de otras patologías de carácter genético. (AU)

Feature films have been used as a striking learning tool in the field of health, this because certain diseases that are usually rare within the population lend themselves to developing a story based on them. Imperfect Osteogenesis also known as crystal bone disease, is a fairly diverse genetic disorder, although 90 % of cases present with autosomal dominant inherited mutations, the remaining 10 % corresponds to autosomal recessive mutations or of unknown cause. In the present work we have generated a compilation of relevant aspects about this disease correlating with the plot of two cinematographic works, Fragile and The Protected; this in order to analyze it as a possible tool for learning about this disease and other pathologies of a genetic nature.
