    Tricycle Community Members Respond to Film Club's Being in the World Paid Member

    Posted by Emma Varvaloucas on 25 Jan 2012
    Our current Film Club movie is Tao Ruspoli's Being in the World, a discussion of what it means to be human, and how to be human, in a world dominated by impersonal technology.

    Tao Ruspoli on his film Being in the World Paid Member

    Posted by Sam Mowe on 23 Jan 2012
    We have a wonderful film showing now at the Tricycle Film Club. Being in the World, presented by Alive Mind Cinema, is a celebration of human beings and our ability to find meaning in the world around us. It features interviews with some renowned philosophers, from Harvard to Berkeley, along with footage of modern day masters—people who have learned to respond creatively and sensitively to the requirements of their craft. The film is directed by Tao Ruspoli, who was singled out by Moviemaker magazine as one of the "10 Young Filmmakers To Watch" in its spring 2008 issue. Tricycle Supporting and Sustaining Members can watch the film here. Not a member? Become one here. More »
