Just like the previous events of the screening program this fourth evening, too, attracted a broad audience. The exploitation of the affective desires for the "good life" and the intersections of gender, aging, migration and care work are the main focus of the Japanese film “Plan 75” from 2022, was shown on 16 March 2023. In order to socio-politically contextualize a few thematic aspects of this dystopian film from the viewpoint of Cultural and Aging Studies, the screening was followed by an expert discussion with Prof. Ulla Kriebernegg from the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Aging and Care (CIRAC) and Prof. Franz Winter from the Department of Religious Studies. The discussion touched upon critical aspects of intergenerational relations, images of aging and cultural representations of geronticide in late-capitalist societies – topics explicitly depicted in the film.
