The Provocateurs: Memory management / Bridget Jones meets the existentialists

Neurobiologist John Girgis (The University of Edinburgh) puts brains under microscopes to see memories being created. What does that look like? How should we relate to our memories? Are we only the total sum of what we can remember?

What can Bridget Jones's Diary teach us about existentialism? Dr David Sorfa (The University of Edinburgh) explores how popular films can provide philosophical insights and discusses freedom, anxiety, the impossibility of finding love and the importance of blue soup.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.
