VICTIM OF THE BRAIN (1988)
"Victim of the Brain is a 1988 film by Dutch director
Piet Hoenderdos
, loosely based on
The Mind's I
, a compilation of texts and stories on the philosophy of mind and self, co-edited by
Douglas Hofstadter
and
Daniel C. Dennett
. The film weaves interviews with Hofstadter with adaptations of several works in the book: Dennett's Where am I?, The Soul of the Mark III Beast by
Terrel Miedaner
, and also the short story The Seventh Sally by
Stanisław Lem
. The film was shown several times on television in Holland in the late eighties."

So I've been reading Hofstadter's
I am a Strange Loop
and I've become and remained completely entranced by this guy. So, as you may guess, my inner geek glowed when I stumbled across this one.
