Executives in the entertainment business like to complain about the large number of U.S. and international TV trade shows, but has anyone noticed the proliferation of film Tand TV awards, especially in the U.S.? Inflation has certainly hit the audiovisual sector as well. The growing number of stand-alone awards and those associated with trade shows is really becoming unmanageable, like the U.S. economy. And the U.S. studios seem to be getting fed up with this award inflation, especially the Golden Globes, which are given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). If one counts only the number of major TV and film awards in the three month period from November 2010 to February 2011, the figure reaches an astronomical 27 events. This is without counting local and regional events and film and TV festival awards, which could easily double that figure. In effect, for the four winter months there is one award ceremony every other day. And if other awards bestowed during the remaining months of the year are considered, one can easily see how this wave of statuettes is engulfing the entertainment industry.

Although ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada remained steady at $10.6 billion last year, revenue overseas rocketed in 2010 with a 13 percent increase over 2009. Latin America and the Asia Pacific region registered the largest growth, with a 25 percent increase in box office receipts in Latin America and a 21 percent increase in the Asia Pacific region. Together, the two regions accounted for $10.8 billion in 2010 box office revenue. China made up more than 40 percent of the Asia Pacific region’s box office revenue. For the first time ever, Europe, the Middle East and Africa combined accounted for less than half of all international ticket sales at $10.4 billion. One troublesome finding was that, although the overall number of people who went to the movies in 2010 was up three percent from 2009, the number of movies that each person saw decreased from 6.5 in 2009 to six in 2010.

    The Canadian Templar December 2015 Newsletter News and Report from our Grand Prior In this edition of the Canadian Templar you will find many articles and news items relating to recent world events. As an international Christian Order we all have been affected and will continue to be affected. Although it may appear to be a somber edition, the fact is that we can rejoice in our Faith, and know the Joy and the Truth, especially as we enter the Christmas season. Below is a message I sent to our Grand Commander Col Dr. Marcel de Picciotto, and Jean Pelegrin the Grand Prior of France, immediately following the horrible attacks in Paris. “Dear Grand Commander Marcel, Grand Prior Jean and all Brothers and Sisters in France, The Grand Priory of Canada and all the peoples of our nation send our sincere condolences for the senseless acts of cowardly barbarism that have taken place in Paris last night. No nation is immune from this horror. We must not be intimidated by terrorists and their inhumane actions. Canadians know this first hand and stand firmly Page 1 with our French Brothers and Sisters at this dark and difficult time. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all.” As many of you know, on November 6 we lost a dear friend, a dedicated and faithful member of our Order, former Grand Commander Major General Robert Disney. Both Robert and his lovely wife Sheila have been to Canada many times. He was installed as Grand Commander at the Toronto international gathering and considered Canadians among his second family.

Here, the noise of the traffic recedes and the street’s charms surge subtly into focus: fashion boutiques and indie cafés tucked into the ground floors of 19th Century Altbauten, the elegantly run-down Kino Babylon and the dark and seductive cocktail bar Würgeengel, the “exterminating angel”, a name borrowed from a surrealist film by luis Buñuel. It all looked very different in the 80s of course, when the Berlin Wall stood just under a kilometre away and the façades of these houses – now expensively renovated and worth a pretty penny – were still pockmarked by World War Two bulletholes. Mostly devoid of baths, the interiors heated by coal, their inhabitants – mostly Turkish immigrants – shivered and shuffled their way through the Berlin winter. 12 13 It was during this pre-Wende milieu that a tall, skinny and largely unknown Australian musician named Nicholas Edward Cave moved into no. 11. Aside from brief spells in apartments on naumannstraße (Schöneberg), yorckstraße, and nearby Oranienstraße, Cave spent the bulk of his seven on-and-off years in Berlin living in a tiny apartment alongside filmmaker and musician Christoph Dreher, founder of local outfit Die Haut. It was in this house that Cave wrote the lyrics and music for several Birthday Party and Bad Seeds albums, penned his debut novel (And The Ass Saw The Angel) and wielded a sizeable influence over Kreuzberg’s burgeoning post-punk scene.
