The purpose of the project “EMDb – Epilepsy Movie Database” is to provide socio-medical information about epilepsy, the second most common chronological and neurological disease. The movie database includes films in which epilepsy plays a direct or indirect role, but also films in which the disease is not explicitly addressed.
Therefore, the project has a wide audience ranging from patients and their relatives to health professionals, film journalists and media experts. The movie database is available in German and English.
