The exhibit, which includes a boxing head guard and a pair of sunglasses used by Lee, is part of a tribute to the late actor at the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival. The festival also hosted a seminar on his work, and screened nine of his movies in honor of what would have been his 70th birthday later this year.
70! Can you believe it? If you're in Los Angeles, you don't want to miss the Bruce Lee birthday celebration, in collaboration with Bruce Lee Enterprises, happening later this month as part of the 2010 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival:
BRUCE LEE, CULTURAL ICON: 70th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONI have the honor of moderating the Enter the Dragon post-screening panel on May 1. I can't even describe how excited I am to be taking part in it. For more information about the Bruce Lee 70th birthday celebration, go to the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival website here.
The Film Festival is pleased to collaborate with Bruce Lee Enterprises to observe the 70th birthday of martial arts legend and Asian American cultural icon Bruce Lee.
