  • 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?

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE OF THANKSGIVING FOR THE LIFE AND WORK OF THE LORD ATTENBOROUGH CBE Tuesday 17th March 2015 Noon 2 3 4 THE LORD ATTENBOROUGH CBE Richard Attenborough was born on 29th August 1923 in Cambridge to Frederick Attenborough, a fellow of Emmanuel College, and Mary Attenborough (née Clegg), a linguist, suffragette and founder member of the National Marriage Guidance Council. He was educated at Wyggeston Grammar School in Leicester, where his father had become Principal of Leicester University College, overseeing its transition to a fully fledged university. (The largest building on the university campus is named the Attenborough Building after his father.) Richard then studied and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He was the eldest of three sons, alongside naturalist and broadcaster David, and John, who worked in the motor trade (d 2012). In 1945, he married his former fellow drama student, Sheila Sim. They had met at RADA and, despite the vicissitudes of the war, had become inseparable. By now, both of their careers were beginning to blossom, with Richard playing small roles in Powell & Pressburger’s A Matter of Life and Death and Peter Ustinov’s School for Secrets, and the lead, opposite Sheila, in The Guinea Pig—the story of a working-class fourteen- year-old (played by a twenty-five-year-old Attenborough) sent to public school. However, it would be his performance as Pinkie Brown in Brighton Rock that would push him towards stardom. The film received critical acclaim and became the most popular British movie of 1947. It took Richard to a new level of public attention, but with it came the problem of being increasingly typecast in films such as London Belongs to Me and Boys in Brown.
