MediCinema plans, builds, installs and manages movie theatres in hospitals and care facilities for patients and carers. Cinema with its metaphoric and imaginary effects is an ally along the treatment pathway, it alleviates physical and mental suffering. The method’s impact, monitored in pediatric, psychiatric, geriatric, pre and post-surgical settings, in rehabilitative therapies, intensive care or long hospital stays improves the efficacy of clinical therapy.
The project is also active in Italy with Medicinema Italia: https://www.medicinema-italia.org/
