  From the legendary film director Martin Scorsese, a book in which he and Father Antonio Spadaro discuss the visionary filmmaker's relationship to faith throughout his life. From his Italian-American upbringing as a Catholic in New York to the meditations on religion, belief, and the divine found in his filmography, Martin Scorsese's relationship to his faith has touched every aspect of his life and work.  When Italian journalist Father Antonio Spadaro and Martin Scorsese first sat down together in Scorsese's home, neither could have predicted the depth of the conversation, intellectual exchange, or friendship that would result. While discussing the acclaimed director's film Silence, about the persecution of Jesuits in Japan, they began a dialogue about faith that continues to this day. In their often-profound conversations, he and Father Spadaro have left no stone unturned, discussing this relationship along with everything from Scorsese's childhood to the concept of the soul. And as a result of their long friendship and communication, Scorsese met with Pope Francis. Readers will gain new insight into one of the most famous directors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in these honest, moving, and ultimately inspiring Conversations on Faith.

  A lively collection of essays that re-examines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever
  		 
  Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
  		 
  “A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read.” — Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara 
  		 
  In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
  		 
  With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  La La Land is a romantic musical drama that follows the story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a passionate jazz musician, as they meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. The film explores themes of ambition, love, sacrifice, and the challenges of balancing personal dreams with relationships. Through vibrant musical numbers and stunning cinematography, La La Land celebrates both the beauty and the harsh realities of chasing one’s artistic aspirations. It combines nostalgia for classic Hollywood musicals with a modern, bittersweet take on love and ambition in the entertainment industry. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The audition scene where the casting director interrupts Mia's emotional performance to take a phone call was inspired by one of Ryan Gosling's auditions in real life.” 
    
  “Only 30 dancers were used for the "Another Day of Sun" sequence. Most of the people and cars seen in the background are CGI.” 
    
  “John Legend had to learn how to play the guitar for his role, despite being a classically trained pianist in real life.” 
    
  “Tom Hanks was so impressed by the film that, during a press conference for his film Sully, he recommended it to all reporters.” 
    
  “Filming of La La Land took place in just eight weeks, during the summer of 2015.”

  The Public Purpose of Art

  Arlene Goldbard

  • 0

  We’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift, a radical change in worldview that will thrust art and culture onto center stage. What does that mean? How will the world be different? What is the rising spirit of the times and how is it being expressed in art? Arlene Goldbard says, “I have this overwhelming image of energy gathering force and taking shape.” She likens this force to a wave and says, “No one masterminds a wave, ordering all the drops of water into line. Many independent forces operate simultaneously – wind, gravity, disturbances of all kinds – and somehow, the wave mounts.” In this dialogue we explore this mounting force and what’s opposing this rolling tide.

  At four years old, Caroline Sanderson fell in love with the music of Mozart after listening to it with her father. At eight, she fell even harder for the songs of David Bowie. Her dad made many gentle attempts to persuade her back to his world of classical music, but it wasn't until after he died that she returned to it, in memory of him.
  In a beguiling blend of memoir and biography, we follow Sanderson as she set out to listen, with great care and attention, to the music her dad loved, to work out why he so appreciated it and whether she could too.
  From hearing Mozart recitals in Salzburg to visiting Sibelius' house near Helsinki and playing Robert Schumann at home on the piano, this is a beautifully touching and absorbing story of a beloved father, told through the classical music he cherished.
