Memory: The Origins of Alien
“Before Alien, there was Starbeast. Before Starbeast, there was… Memory.”
2019•1h 35m•6.4•Released
Documentary
The untold origin story behind Ridley Scott's Alien - rooted in Greek and Egyptian mythologies, underground comics, the art of Francis Bacon, and the dark visions of Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger. A contemplation on the symbiotic collaborative process of movie-making, the power of myth, and our collective unconscious.
