Twenty-seventh session of Illegal_cinema

Screening proposed by Eriz Moreno, followed by a discussion.

Screening:

Bruce Lee: The Lost Interview (Michael Rothery, 1971), 24 mins. The film presents an interview where Lee talks about a number of subjects such as the martial arts, languages, philosophy, and his expectations for the future.

國產凌凌漆 From Beijing with love (Stephen Chow + Lik-Chi Lee, 1994), 94 mins. Chinese high ranking police officials decide to assign the case of the theft of a giant dinosaur skeleton to their most incompetent officer: a village butcher who spends his days drinking martinis and dreams of becoming the new James Bond.

Eriz Moreno (Bilbao, 1982) proposes a session of Illegal_cinema that revolves around the issue of identity. Identity is understood as the nucleus from which the ‘I’ is defined. This is an unchanging and coherent nucleus that, together with reason, allows human beings to interact with other individuals. The formation of identity is a process that begins to take shape through certain conditions that are characteristic of a person, which are present from birth, as well as specific events and basic experiences. Through these elements, identity is formed, providing us with a complex image of ourselves that allows us to act in a way that is consistent with what we think.
