Neuro Film Series
The Neuro Film Series is back! On Wednesday, November 30, 2016 we present the awarding winning film 鈥淪茅raphine鈥� (2008) which swept the C茅sar Awards in 2009 with no less than seven awards! S茅raphine is a French-Belgian film directed by Martin Provost and written by Marc Abdelnour and Provost. It is based on the life of French painter S茅raphine de Senlis who battled with psychosis. The film focuses intently on Seraphine's delusions, on the manic state that overtakes her at the prospect of fame and fortune, about how she hides far inside so that Uhde cannot reach her. 听
Our Neuro host for this film is Josefina Maranzano. Dr. Maranzano was born in 1972 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She completed her medical degree in Buenos Aires and worked for several years in Argentina as a MD in Internal Medicine and Radiology. Dr. Maranzano immigrated to Quebec and worked for 8 years in medical research, specifically in brain imagery. Currently, she is a researcher specializing in MS in the laboratory of Dr. Douglas Arnold of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 香蕉视频. It was here in Quebec that Dr. Maranzano developed a passion for visual arts and is an accomplished artist. She has participated in several exhibitions and exhibited 鈥榮olo鈥� in Laprairie in 2013;听 she has another 鈥榮olo鈥櫶� exhibit scheduled for this coming winter.

In her own words, 鈥淎s we know, one hemisphere of the brain is related to logic and analytical thinking, the other is responsible of our creativity. I think that when I immigrated from the south hemisphere to the north hemisphere, the two halves of my brain had the urge to start working with the same intensity. I'm now trying to balance my two hemispheres, or should I say my four?鈥�
