De Humani Corporis Fabrica is a 2022 French-Swiss documentary film, directed by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel. Named after De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem, a 16th-century book series written by the first modern anatomist Andreas Vesalius, that was one of the most influential advances in the study of human anatomy, the film explores the human body through depictions of surgeries and autopsies in multiple hospitals around Paris, including intimate close-up footage from inside human bodies.
