In this special collaboration with MoMA, a screening of The Bourne Identity was followed by a panel discussion in which the film’s producer/director Doug Liman was joined by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Giulio Tononi to explore the science behind The Bourne Trilogy. Film scholar and producer/screenwriter James Schamus (Co-President of Focus Features) moderated a discussion about brain function, memory, personality, and identity as seen through the lens of the remarkable character, Jason Bourne.
The program was presented to coincide with a series of screenings of The Bourne Trilogy – recently acquired by MoMA’s Film Department for its permanent collection.
