Film Screening “Being in the World”

Sun 26 Feb 2017, 7.30 – 9.30 pm
Six Space

From the organizer:

In 2017, the organizer would like to introduce a new series of films and documentaries from various cultures that not only depict the cultural diversity and richness but also tackle international social and political issues from different angles, aspects and perspectives. All the screenings will be followed by open discussions.

To start the series, this upcoming Sunday you are invited to the screening of “Being in the World”, a film by Tao Ruspoli.

Once upon a time there was a world full of meaning, focused by exemplary figures in the form of gods and heroes, saints and sinners. How did we lose them, or, might they still be around, in the form of modern day masters, in fields like sports, music, craft and cooking. Are these masters able to inspire us and bring back a sense of wonder, possibly even of the sacred?

Join world renowned philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, along with a generation of philosophers he inspired, as they take us on a riveting journey of ideas, tackling some of the deepest philosophical issues of our time. In this enlightening trip, we learn what is unique about human beings that allows us to take the risks necessary to learn skills, and how an appreciation of mastery can help us recover a meaningful world. Travel to New Orleans to meet the Queen of Creole Cuisine, travel to Spain to meet the legendary poet and flamenco master Manuel Molina, and enter the world of Hiroshi Sakaguchi a Japanese master craftsman.
