On 24 November 2022, Robot & Frank, the second film in the CareAgeCinema - Putting Age and Care on Screen film series, was shown at the Rechbauerkino.
The cinema was full and a discussion followed the film screening, highlighting essential aspects of the film from a scientific perspective. Stefan Schweigler BA MA (Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Aging and Care - CIRAC) talked about the interface of "robot" and ethics of care Dr. Gerhilde Schüttengruber (Institute of Nursing Science, Med Uni Graz, and Age and Care Research Group - ACRGG) discussed the role of robots in care, and Dr. Eva-Maria Trinkaus (CIRAC and ACRGG) dealt with the images of old age conveyed by the film, and also with other aspects. Through the interesting discussion, new perspectives on the film were raised, which allowed for a broader reflection.
