Memory: The Origins of Alien

  • Warren Auditorium (Ives 101) (map)

“With brilliant fervour, director Alexandre O. Philippe uncovers the untold origin story rooted in Greek and Egyptian mythologies, underground comics, the art of Francis Bacon and the dark visions behind the most shocking and unforgettable film in sci-fi history. A substantial collection of in-depth interviews, original story notes, rejected concepts and unreleased behind-the-scenes footage that will rouse even the casual fan. Philippe superbly analyzes Alien's poignant sexual and gender commentary and dissects one of the most disturbing yet genius moments in all of cinema—the Chestburster scene.” Ravi Srinivasan, Canadian International Documentary Film Festival
