Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A Film infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the style guidelines

This article needs a free image related to the subject. Possible images include things like a picture of the set, prominent actors, or the director.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

I really wanted to know what the deal with this movie was so I emailed Douglas Hofstatder. He said:

I have no idea where people get their ideas or why they post them on the Web when they are extremely confused. Here are the facts. In 1983, Piet Hoenderdos came from Amsterdam to Boston to film a series of in-depth interviews with me (I was on sabbatical at MIT at the time, and at the beginning and end of the film, one can see some footage of me playing the piano on the 7th floor of the AI Lab). The next year Piet filmed Dan Dennett and some other people in an enactment of Dan's philosophical fantasy "Where Am I?" (published in our jointly edited book "The Mind's I"),and he also filmed an enactment of a short story called "The Soul of the Mark III Beast" by Terrel Miedaner (also in "The Mind's I"), and also the short story "The Seventh Sally" by Stanislaw Lem (also in "The Mind's I"). All these pieces were then interleaved with chunks of the interview with me, and the whole thing was unified with a kind of story-telling glue into a movie entitled "Victim of the Brain", which was shown on Dutch television a few times in the mid- or late eighties.
