Opening at the Plaza Frontenac
11:15 am – 1:40 pm – 4:15 pm – 7 pm – 9:30 pm
Listen To Me Brando (trailer, below).

For a variety of reasons, I would prefer to keep the focus on Marlon Brando and not on the film.
I will let you decide after watching the clips below whether you would like to spend time with Brando. I am glad to have learned more from/about him.
[The clip below is also on my School of No Media site]

BREAK THE SURFACE

To ride the unbalance* between:
1. excellence and a kind, singular and porous identity that contains some of the scruples, humor, humility, musicality & the beauty of a harsh and confusing, yet benign and rich reality – away from distractions.
2. the stupidity and blindness of complacency, violence, injustice, pretense, egos, short-term… wishful… and group “thinking,” and empty talk – in all of their surprising embodiments. And the false sense of fullness all of this provides.

An appeal for a world NOT so caught up in anthropo/ego/euro/ethno/oculo/esthetico -CENTRISM.
_______________________________
1. Beware of those who claim to be strong – they are often dangerous.
2. Unmask the hoax of “centrality” – ask an “EX-centric” for assistance?
3. Perceive the arrogance of normalcy: everybody, in one way or another, is handicapped… which brings us back to 1.
