Memories ( Japan 1995)

“Science Fiction Under Scrutiny!” is the theme for an exciting and educational film evening hosted at the Zeiss Großplanetarium in Berlin and the Munich Public Observatory. The legendary horror-science fiction classic and anthology film MEMORIES (1995) will be screened. The master of anime, Katsuhiro Ōtomo (AKIRA), presents three captivating stories, each more thrilling than the last. After the screening, we’ll discuss with scientific experts whether the film’s content leans more toward “science” or “fiction.”

About the film: In the episode “Magnetic Rose,” a mysterious spaceship lures unsuspecting travelers. In “Stink Bomb,” a young scientist makes a fatal mistake, and “Cannon Fodder” depicts a dystopian world—much like the one in Orwell’s 1984—dominated by an ever-present war with no discernible enemy.
