Memory: The Origin of Alien

Описание: 🧠 Unearthing the Mythology Behind a Masterpiece


In this episode of Exploring Humanity Through Sci‑Fi, Tony dives into the documentary Memory: The Origin of Alien, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe. More than a behind‑the‑scenes chronicle, the film excavates the artistic, cultural, and psychological roots of Alien — revealing how one of cinema’s most iconic creatures emerged from a collision of mythology, personal trauma, and collective fear.



This documentary became the first major release from Legion M, the fan‑owned entertainment company reshaping how genre films are financed and supported. To explore why Memory was such a defining project for them, Tony sits down with Paul Scanlan and Jeff Annison, the co‑founders of Legion M, for a conversation that blends film history, fandom, and the power of community‑driven storytelling.
