VIFF Podcast - RZA on Wu-Tang, The Man with the Iron Fists and kung-fu film influences

In this episode, we present a conversation with RZA, hip-hop producer, director and leader of legendary group, The Wu-Tang Clan.
Born Robert Diggs, RZA was inspired by kung fu classics at a young age, and he and his fellow Clan members would later incorporate them into their iconic debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang, and since then RZA has, while remaining loyal to hip-hop, moved into the film world. After scoring a number of films, he wrote and directed his own: The Man with the Iron Fists (2012) and the upcoming Cutthroat City.
In this Creator Talk recorded at the 2018 Vancouver International Film Festival, RZA joined Calum Marsh, staff writer at the National Post, on stage to discuss Wu-Tang's beginnings, his master-apprentice relationship with Quentin Tarantino and what happened to the four-hour cut of The Man With The Iron Fists.
Following the conversation, RZA went on to demonstrate his prowess in musical storytelling, with a special VIFF Live event – a live-score to the Kung-fu flick that’s been one of his biggest influences: Lau Kar-leung’s martial arts classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

VIFF Podcast - Dr. Jane Goodall on seeing her life's journey on screen

In this episode, we present a conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall who reflects on seeing her life's journey to becoming one of the world’s most prominent conservationists chronicled through archival footage in Brett Morgen's 2017 documentary, Jane .In 1960, at the age of 26 and with little academic training, Jane Goodall set off into the Gombe Stream National Park forests to study the relatively unexamined life of the chimpanzee. Her discoveries led to a lifelong fascination with our primate kin, and she went on to transform the world’s view of them.
Goodall’s work has since been canonized in books, essays, articles, and documentaries the world over, but the conservationist says none of these has been as authentic or nostalgic as Brett Morgen’s biographical documentary, Jane.
The Emmy-award winning documentary utilizes archival 16mm footage shot by Hugo van Lawick in the 1960s to deliver a powerful and uplifting portrayal of Goodall, following her groundbreaking research in Tanzania and the way she challenged male-dominated scientific communities with her chimpanzee research.
In this conversation recorded at the 2018 Vancouver International Film Festival, Dr. Godall speaks about how it all began, about her life's journey, and how it led her to the forests of Gombe to study the chimpanzees there.

October 4, 2017.
