About this work
Description
A complete film which explains the architecture of the intra-renal veins in various imaginative visual ways. Firstly, there is generic archaeological footage (Greece) and coastal shots with atmospheric Greek music on the audio. F. T. Graves narrates the film describing his research interest in the kidney. The architecture of the blood supply to the kidney is shown via three-dimensional models and medical illustrations. Archaeology (the Minoan palaces in Crete) provided the inspiration for the solution in his exploration of the kidney. Finally a barge floats languidly into the distance on a water course.

Notes
Graves Medical Audiovisual Library was founded by husband and wife team Drs John and Valerie Graves in 1957 as an educational activity of the College of General Practitioners (from 1972 the Royal College of General Practitioners). It soon became the premier organisation supplying audiovisual materials for all the medical and paramedical professions in the UK. Initially it was mainly associated with tape-slide programmes, but by the mid-1980s video programmes also became a major medium.
More material relating to the Graves Medical Audiovisual Library is in the Wellcome Library reference SA/GMR.
