  • International Meetings on the Themes of Culture, Economy and the Media
    1 Press release 14th of October 2009 2 International meetings on culture, economy and the media, with Frédéric Mitterrand, Minister for Culture and Communication. PARIS, October 2/PRNewswire/ -- Building on the success of last year's premiere, the second International Forum d’Avignon will bring together for two days, between November 19th – 21st, 300 personalities from all over the world (*) including artists, directors, producers, economists, internet and media company managers, politicians etc… For the blossoming of cultures. These decision makers from both the public and private sectors will debate a major issue in view of the financial crisis and the crisis of values which we are currently experiencing: “cultural strategies to succeed in a post-crisis era”. How can culture contribute towards the recovery from this crisis? What are the strategies of the various key players? What values are likely to transform the vision of economic indicators themselves? To analyse the different cultural strategies throughout the world, three debates will be held based upon the themes of innovation and creation, the attractiveness of regions and tax policies. Exclusive studies commissioned by the Forum d’Avignon and conducted by international firms (Bain and Co., Ernst & Young, Ineum Consulting) will offer some areas for further reflection and proposals based upon concrete experiences: - Creating and innovating to succeed in an post-crisis era - Considering culture from an economic or symbolic viewpoint. How it can help build an area’s attractiveness?

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.

  • The Score Press Kit FINAL Apr27
    presents Running Time: 83:22 minutes Genre: Dramatic Musical Format: High Definition PRESS KIT For Sales Information Contact: World Sales IndieCan Entertainment Avi Federgreen 194 Glenholme Avenue Toronto, ON M6E 3C4 T: 416.898.3456 E: info@indiecanent/com SHORT SYNOPSIS A groundbreaking musical drama about a scientist whose own genetic history threatens her career, her lab and her life. “Are you ready to kick the ass genomic?” Dr. Lynn Magnusson is a brilliant geneticist racing to isolate a cancer-causing gene. All that’s standing in her way is competition from a well funded French lab, a ticking biological clock that leads to a risky office romance, and her own fears that she might carry the same Huntington’s gene that killed her mother. Based on the award-winning play by Electric Company Theatre, The Score explores the human elements and revolutionary implications of the rapidly advancing world of genetics and uses humour, music and dance to transform scientific ideas into universal themes of identity, freedom and creation. SYNOPSIS The Score tells the story of Dr. Lynn Magnusson, a woman at the helm of a cutting-edge but under-funded lab that is racing towards a significant discovery of genetics-based cancer research. In order to beat the odds at being the first to discover an elusive cancer trigger and maintain her funding, she contemplates sharing research and resources with a lab in Paris, headed by JP Martineau. Meanwhile she is being courted by Ameritech Pharmaceuticals, a multinational company that may be the answer to her lab’s financial woes.

  • Péter Szaffkó Central European Theatre and The
    PÉTER SZAFFKÓ CENTRAL EUROPEAN THEATRE AND THE CANADIAN THEATRE REVIEW: THE FIRST DECADE 1. Introduction The history of the Canadian theatre goes back to 1606 when the first theatrical performance was presented on the shores of Port Royal to celebrate the return of the Governor from his trip. Nevertheless, professional theatre in Canada has a relatively short history; in fact, less than half a century. With some exaggeration, I might also say that theatre criticism in Canada has existed ever since the regular publication of local and national newspapers. The story of this fascinating genre is very well illustrated and commented upon in Establishing Our Boundaries published in 1999. Theatre journals, however, emerged only in the 1960s when various experts—directors, historians, dramaturgs, critics and scholars—wanted to express their views on the state of affairs as well as the development of the theatre arts in Canada. Although the difference between day-to-day criticism of individual performances and a more academic approach to the art of the theatre in any culture may seem evident, it is worth quoting Herbert Whittaker, one of the doyens of Canadian theatre criticism, who was the first national chairman of the Canadian Theatre Critics Association and worked for the Globe and Mail for more than thirty years. Concerning the history of Canadian theatre criticism, he wrote that The academic critic is allowed a more historical perspective, watching for the trends taken by [the current theatrical] expression. While the daily working critic feels part of the daily creativity, clinging precariously to his objectivity, the periodical critics must look for overall 171 developments, making note of similar trends in time and place.
