Phases Of Matter

Phases of Matter explores the unseen aspects of medicine: the life behind the curtain for doctors and hospital workers, the environment they work in and the mannerisms they adopt, the power of physical institutions, as well as the passage of the human body. The film is set in Cerrahpaşa Hospital, a unique, state-run teaching hospital in Istanbul, nearing the end of its working life. Current plans for demolition are under discussion.
