Eric Jacobus (stuntman from the God of War and Mortal Kombat series, founder of the independent action team The Stunt People, and author of the bestselling book If These Fists Could Talk: A Stuntman’s Unflinching Take on Violence) shines an anthropological lens on your favorite kung fu films. He will discuss the ritual origins of animal kung fu styles, the agriculture system that birthed the 18 weapons, and the unique kinship system behind master-student, father-son, and emperor-subject hierarchies. Moderated by David J. Moore (publicist).
