To mark the 30th anniversary of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", this talk by Dominik Becker takes a look at the career of Hideaki Anno, from his childhood right through to his most famous work.
A particular focus falls on "Shin Godzilla", in which Anno combines classic kaiju elements with modern themes such as disaster management, bureaucracy and collective fear. Together you will look at key scenes, symbols and metaphors, and talk about the thinking behind them.
