Ronson’s selected film is particularly topical at the moment, with its reported connections to this month’s newly released movie, Joker.

Punkt. is a Swiss manufacturer of elegant electronic products. The company works to promote the use of technology in ways that help us adopt effective habits for less-distracted lives. Watching films collectively in cinemas (instead of on a smartphone at home) is a fine example of technology working for people rather than the other way round.

Actors, fashion designers, musicians and designers to introduce films that have had a great impact on their careers and creations. After beginning in New York, it has gone on to become a major player in the world of cinema, running significant invitation-only events around the world. “Today we are consumed by distraction via technology throughout our everyday lives – enjoying being at the cinema and in the moment with a movie is a classic example of when we should not be susceptible to unnecessary distraction. Away from tedious smartphone interruptions, the power of focus is a potent force, allowing us the freedom to connect with a task and produce our best work, whether on a film-set, in a studio or in the office. It is a pleasure to be working with Grand Classics and such an accomplished artist that is Mark Ronson to illustrate this.” Petter Neby, Founder & CEO, Punkt. “We are thrilled to have partnered with Punkt. for this special Grand Classics event in New York.

  • SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

  • Films for Exploring Peace and Justice Themes
    Films for Exploring Peace and Justice Themes Many youth and adult groups have discovered the value of films for education and outreach. Films may be shown singly or as part of a series. One group organized a “Tuesday Evenings at the Movies” series, served popcorn, and had a great time. Most of these films have short segments that can be used to teach specific peace and justice insights or skills, and can encourage folks to see the rest of the film. Below are films that we’ve found to be especially effective. (Well-known stars and directors are in parentheses.) All the President’s Men, young reporters, step-by- Missing, wife and father pursue the truth of a young step, uncover the Watergate conspiracy (Dustin journalist missing during the bloody US-backed Hoffmann, Robert Redford, Jason Robards) coup in Chile (Sissy Spacek, Jack Lemon, Oscar) Beyond Rangoon, grieving young American woman Norma Rae, moving story of a young woman’s is transformed by the heroic human rights efforts efforts to win better working conditions in textile of Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma (Patricia Arquette) plant in the South (Sally Field, Oscar) Cry Freedom, a journalist’s friendship with Steven Northern Lights, rich chronicle of Swedish farmers Biko, the South African nonviolent hero (Denzel in the Dakotas in the early twentieth century Washington, Kevin Kline; dir. by Attenborough) Romero, heartfelt struggle for human rights by the Dave, an average guy hired to impersonate the presi- courageous archbishop of El Salvador (Raul Julia) dent wants to do good in this wise comedy (Kevin Shindler's List, one man’s struggle to save the lives Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley) of 1000 Jews during the holocaust (Liam Neeson, Dead Man Walking, illuminating story of a nun’s Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fines; dir.

  • RELATIONS "This Is My Commandment, That You Love One Another (Ἀγαπᾶτε) As I Have Loved (Ἠγάπησα) You
    RELATIONS "This is my commandment, that you love one another (ἀγαπᾶτε) as I have loved (ἠγάπησα) you. No one has greater love (ἀγάπην) than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:12f There are several words in Greek for the one English word, “love”. I thought I would illustrate their meaning with reference to Hollywood. The first two words are Eros (ἔρως) which means to be infatuated with a person, an object or an idea, and storge (στοργή), which is familial love, the love of parents (and grandparents) for their children. Then two other words: φιλέω and ἀγαπάω. The first means to have a warm affection for another and the second, to wish one well. The ancient Greeks considered Eros to be dangerous and frightening as it involved a “loss of control,” as though to say, “I couldn’t help myself.” It is the appreciation of beauty both external and within. It’s what we view frequently on the silver screen. I would guess that most movies at the moment are romances. To be a success in my book they need to have a memorable musical score and demonstrate that “the path of true love never did run smooth.”1 The lovers need to fight, separate, or even die. I have chosen West Side Story (1957), Leonard Bernstein’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.2 The Jets and the Sharks are two gangs who are bitter enemies, fighting for turf in New York City. Tony and Maria, members of rival gangs, fall in love and sing: “Make of our hands one hand; make of our hearts one heart.” After the rumble, Chino who was engaged to marry Maria shoots Tony and he dies in his lover’s arms.

Hilfiger in Five Years: Firm Said to Forecast Wholesale Will Halve By Jean Palmieri NEW YORK — The long-term picture for the U.S. wholesale business at Tommy Hilfiger Corp. isn’t a pretty one. Meanwhile, the chances of Hilfiger being acquired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. no longer seems so far-fetched; one investment banker pegged them at “50-50.” According to investment sources who have seen the company’s offering memorandum, Hilfiger is projecting that U.S. wholesale sales will drop by more than half, to just more than $400 million, by fiscal year 2009, from just under $900 million in fiscal year 2004.
