Bamboo, Nunchucks & Dirty Footprints: A Retrospective of Bruce Lee’s ‘Game of Death’

On the eve of the 46th anniversary of Bruce Lee’s passing, Alan Canvan will premiere a new edit of Lee’s Game of Death (Running Time 39:05), a posthumously released unfinished film. Visualized by Canvan, the new cut reframes Lee’s famous project by combining John Barry’s riveting film score with Lee’s extended raw footage to reveal the hidden symbolism and themes within the narrative of Game of Death. The result is a powerful and resonant story that explores classical mythology and Jungian psychology, honoring the artistry of both Bruce Lee and John Barry. After the screening, Canvan will be joined by author Matthew Polly (Bruce Lee: A Life) for a discussion on Game of Death, followed by Q&A with the audience.
