"Ortho
Films: Myth and Reality": The most recent film from RobStan
Visuals was premiered in February 2005. Professor Dickson Charles
reviews the phenomenon of orthopedic films through the film history.
Clips of representative films from different genres are shown including
"Mobility Medics", "Implant America", "Fistful
of Implant", "The Wrong Joint", and "The Explantor".
Reaction
from various luminaries and "ortho film fans" attest to
the growing popularity of orthopedic films. A tongue-in-cheek retrospective
of the ortho films of the last century. Rather than produce full-length
films, RobStan Visuals compiled a series of trailers of fictitious
movies about orthopedics and created a "mythology" of
ortho films discussed by a professor of film.
