The Search for Weng Weng: Director Q&A
4061 Adams Avenue, San Diego, 92116
Cost: $15
What kinds of things can low-brow arts culture teach us when given a little more consideration? That may not have been the exact question that director Andrew Leavold had in mind when setting off to spend seven years traveling to the Philippines on a quixotic quest to uncover the truth behind an enigmatic 2'9" Filipino action star known as Weng Weng.
As his investigations continue to unfold, however, Leavold’s initial fanboy curiosity about Weng Weng blossoms into a look at over 30 years of Filipino pop culture and how the culture reflects the country at large.
96 minutes. Followed by a Q&A with director Andrew Leavold. Info: [email protected] or 443-834-3742.
