WHAT’s ON
Presented by Mikatonic, this talk explores how cinematic representations of the asylum and its patients have reflected real-life developments in psychiatry, including the demolition of Victorian institutions and moves toward community-based care in the late 20th century. We will also see how film itself played a role in these developments, with documentary exposés of asylum life like Frederick Wiseman's Titicut Follies (1967) revealing the real-life horrors of the institution.
