On October 8th in Paddington’s Chauvel cinema, the Conscious Club strikes again, introducing a new string to their bow: MOVIE NIGHT!
I LOVE MOVIES!
This one’s called “CONNECTED”
Here’s what CC are saying about it: ‘
Connected is a thrilling exploration of modern life…and our interconnected future. With wonderful heart and an impressive sense of scale, Tiffany Shlain’s vibrant and insightful documentary, Connected, explores the visible and invisible connections linking major issues of our time-the environment, consumption, population growth, technology, human rights, the global economy-while searching for her place in the world during a transformative time in her life. Employing a splendidly imaginative combination of animation and archival footage, plus several surprises, Shlain constructs a chronological tour of Western modernization through the work of her late father, Leonard Shlain, a surgeon and best-selling author of Art and Physics and The Alphabet Versus the Goddess. With humor and irony, the Shlain family life merges with philosophy to create both a personal portrait and a proposal for ways we can move forward as a civilization. Connected illuminates the beauty and tragedy.’

I’ve posted about Conscious Club before HERE. This is what I’m talkin’ bout people! I love it and I’m so thankful and grateful for what they do.
This event is taking place in Sydney. Still, I thought it would be good to bring awareness to the movie no matter where you are.
If you click HERE you’ll be taken to the CONNECTED website where they sell the dvd.
It’s also available on iTunes to buy for Au$11.99 or to rent for Au$4.99. Just click HERE.
So go on! Let’s all watch it together all round the world!
And then let me know if you see it and what you think in the comment boxes below! There’s nothing stopping you having your own movie night, wherever you are in the world. (There’s one score for technology!) And isn’t it a nice idea to make it a bit of a gathering, so you’re all … connected …. like!!
For those of you in Sydney available to come along here are the details and I would be buying my ticket asap as they sell out fast! (I’ve got mine already!)
