Virology is having a cultural moment, so it is opportune to stop and look back at the career of Telford H. Work, one of America\u2019s premier virologists. Work&#8217;s collection of 83 films documenting his life\u2019s work and travels is preserved in the National Library of Medicine collections, along with Work\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/findingaids.nlm.nih.gov\/repositories\/ammp\/resources\/work564\">manuscript collection<\/a>, which covers his education, career, hobbies, and achievements. Made between 1942 and 1988, the films were primarily shot on 16mm film, with video copies made later by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Although some of Work\u2019s California wildlife films were donated to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Work\u2019s widow Martine Jozan, MD, Ph.D. (also a virologist) donated most of his films to the NLM in a series of gifts to the institution between 1999 and 2006. His film <a href=\"https:\/\/medicineonscreen.nlm.nih.gov\/portfolio\/reconnaissance-for-yellow-fever-in-the-nuba-mountains-southern-sudan\/\"><em>Reconnaissance for Yellow Fever in the Nuba Mountains, Southern Sudan<\/em><\/a> was previously the subject of a \u201cMedicine on Screen\u201d essay by Paul Theerman.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>He trudged everywhere loaded with a tripod and 16mm Bolex cameras, documenting epidemiological events as they unfolded \u201cas a journalist does in a notebook.\u201d \u2014Martine Jozan<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Work, the Filmmaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Telford Work was not a professional filmmaker, but he used his films to show both his travel and his scientific fieldwork. His style sometimes resembles that of a talented home movie maker, but one who was filming his medical and virological work in addition to scenery and private events, while at other times his filmmaking shows the skill an experienced documentarian. While there are some brief scenic interludes scattered throughout, the films are primarily (in Martine Jozan&#8217;s words) \u201ceither a scientific documentation of medical outbreaks, or a scientific outlook on the biology of animals, or places.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25400\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25400\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2022\/11\/17\/the-films-of-virologist-telford-work\/kyanasur_101491206\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?fit=625%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"625,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kyanasur_101491206\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Kyasanur Forest Disease, 1956&lt;br \/&gt;\nNational Library of Medicine #101491206&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?fit=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?fit=625%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?resize=300%2C230&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A sign on a tree that reads Kaysanoor State Forest in two languages.\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Kyanasur_101491206.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Kyasanur Forest Disease<\/em>, 1956<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/resource.nlm.nih.gov\/101491206\"><em>National Library of Medicine #101491206<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Browsing the collection\u2019s catalog, the films\u2019 titles (which were supplied by Work) are frequently simply the names of the locations where they were filmed (such as <em>Lapland<\/em>, <em>Nepal<\/em>, <em>Antarctica<\/em>), making them appear to be travel films, while others (<em>Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever<\/em>, <em>Rhesus Insulin Shock<\/em>, and <em>Tick-Borne Encephalitis: Eastern Europe<\/em>, for example) sound primarily medical, often deceptively so, since Work\u2019s films are nearly all a mixture of nature, clinical documentation, and fieldwork. Despite existing in a gray area between genres, \u201cthey were all documentaries,\u201d writes Martine Jozan, \u201calways done with rigor and foresight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The films were not intended to be private documents and were shown at universities, scientific meetings, and public screenings. He also presented films to his students at home, where Martine would have to feed dozens of students, \u201cdynamic and hungry and always fascinated by his stories.\u201d \u201cI would barbecue two turkeys,\u201d she wrote, \u201cand they will have corn on the cob, potatoes, salad, and ice cream, plus beer and wine. After that, they had to digest through the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cMy dad would tell the stories as the 16mm film clacked through the projector,\u201d recalls his daughter Amrit Work Kendrick&#8230;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;The other great thing about using film to teach was that he could make a disease cycle come alive. It was not just in a laboratory that the discoveries happened. He thought through the whole cycle: arthropod vector to mammal or bird to arthropod to human. He thought about the cultural practices which had people come into contact with the arthropod. What were they doing in the forest? What were they doing in the lake? How did that climate, e.g. arid tropics, provide an ideal condition for the interactions? And he developed trust with people to take samples of their blood when they often did not see the relationship between that and the science that could put their blood to use for finding the virus. These ecologies of disease were part of the stories he told, and I am sure that for some students it gave them a real \u201cAHA!\u201d moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25398\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25398\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25398\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2022\/11\/17\/the-films-of-virologist-telford-work\/monsoon_101478296\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?fit=625%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"625,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Monsoon_101478296\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Monsoon Mosaic, 1954&lt;br \/&gt;\nNational Library of Medicine #101478296&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?fit=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?fit=625%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25398\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?resize=300%2C230&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A man in a plaid cap sets up a movie camera on a tripod in a meadow by a shelter of branches and canvas.\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Monsoon_101478296.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Monsoon Mosaic<\/em>, 1954<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/resource.nlm.nih.gov\/101478296\"><em>National Library of Medicine #101478296<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the mid-1950s, Work presented two of his films in the National Audubon Society\u2019s \u201cAudubon Screen Tours\u201d program series. <em>Pharaohs and Fellahs (1946)<\/em> and <em>Monsoon Mosaic (1954)<\/em> were both edited from the wildlife scenes he had filmed in Egypt and India and were screened with his live narration. \u201cThrough his lectures, Dr. Work shares his world-wide knowledge and absorbing color motion pictures of natural science in many lands,\u201d read the tour\u2019s promotional materials.<\/p>\n<p>He was a technical perfectionist with his camera and his filmmaking. \u201cI think the best present he received from me,\u201d recalled Martine, \u201cwas a fisheye lens which I got directly from the Bolex factory in Switzerland.\u201d She remembers a time when she was frustrated with him for making her repeat a scene twenty-three times so he could get it just right. \u201cHe would make you repeat the scene indefinitely.
