The music world is mourning the loss of acclaimed Australian singer Renée Geyer. The 69-year-old's family has confirmed she died after complications following hip surgery. The soul singer rose to prominence in the 1970s and was later being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

Elvis Presley remains one the most popular rock and roll performers since the inception of rock and roll – his music dominated the pop music landscape in the 1950's and he remained a rock & roll icon through his unfortunate death in 1977.  His life has been dissected, discussed, and of course has been portrayed in several movies going back decades.  Acclaimed Australian filmmaker Buz Luhrmann (Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge) directs this latest version, an epic biopic about the rise and fall of the man known to many as “The King” who is played by up-and-coming young actor Austin Butler.  Tom Hanks also co-stars as “Colonel” Tom Parker who would become Elvis manager throughout most of his career.  And what results is 160 minutes of high energy insanity featuring tons of memorable music – Elvis has ENTERED the building!  https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Acclaimed Australian linguist Professor Nick Enfield has come to the conclusion that language is good for lawyers, for the purposes of persuasion, but bad for scientists who seek to accurately represent reality. It's a fascinating idea he explores in his new book Language vs Reality. What can language describe and where does it fail? Presenter Michael Rosen explores this with him in an in-depth conversation.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, we review one of the more underappreciated romantic comedies from the '90s. It was hyped by its studio as “The NEXT Pretty Woman” and while it didn't even come close to approaching runaway success of that Julia Roberts blockbuster, you could make a case that it's a superior movie.  It stars Andie MacDowell and ‘80's French acting phenomenon Gerard Depardieu (in his first English-speaking role) as a botanist and French ex-patriate who get married as part of an arrangement for him to receive his "green card" and permanent resident status.  As you would expect, they both get more than they bargained for as the INS is cracking down on situations like this so they both have to PRETEND that they are a married couple in love….or are they in fact pretending?  Acclaimed Australian filmmaker Peter Weir directed this gem as his follow-up to runaway hit Dead Poet's Society which came out the year before.Host: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/#livingforthecinema #moviereviews #greencard #andiemacdowell #gerarddepardieu #peterweir #romcom #valentinesdaymovie #valentinesday #enya

Enjoy!Connect with Tania:LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/taniadejongFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/taniadejongamTwitter: https://twitter.com/TaniadeJongWebsite: https://www.taniadejong.com/In This Episode We Canvas:Creativity and Problem-SolvingTania is an expert on creativity and she demonstrates that a lot of us have certain illusions when it comes to the question of being creative. She makes a really cute demonstration by bringing up a person from the audience and in doing so, raises the vibration of the entire room. What a way to get started!“One of the mistakes that I think people make is that creativity is about the arts. That it’s about painting or drawing or doing ballet… Creativity is also about solving problems. All of us are creative, solving problems.” - Tania de JongInnovation and Why We Desperately Need ItShe continues to explain what we can use our creativity for. Applied creativity is innovation and we can use it to make real contributions to our society. And we could definitely use a wave of those contributions right now.“Innovation is the next part of that stage. So creativity, coming up with a lot of different ideas, solving problems, and then innovation is turning those ideas into something of value. Which doesn’t have to be of commercial value it could be of social value. And social value is exactly what we need right now in a world of increasing social and economic problems.” - Tania de JongWhy It’s OK to F.A.I.L.Tania tells a story about her grandmother invented the first foldable umbrella, which is an incredible tale. You should definitely tune in to hear more about it. We touch on the notion of failing in this section and Tania offers a wonderful acronym that will help us maintain the right perspective.“I like to think of ‘F.A.I.L.’ as ‘First Attempt In Learning…’ That really is the secret of entrepreneurship and creativity. Is going through that fear of failure. ” - Tania de JongCreative Abrasion and Positive Human CollisionsThe true potential for learning from our social interactions is in our diversity. In this section, Tania talks about ‘positive human collisions’ and explains why they’re a necessity for efficient personal growth and transformation.“Our greatest gains as human beings are when we connect to people who are really different from us...You get that set of life experiences through connecting with people… who challenge you, who disagree with you… But it’s in that moment when you experience what’s called ‘creative abrasion’ and you feel that discomfort that really true creativity and innovation can spark. And I like to call that ‘positive human collision.’” - Tania de JongHow Does Singing Together Help Us Grow?At the end of our conversation at the ‘Get Hacked Get Hi’ conference, Tania shares some insights around the benefits of group singing and how it affects our brains. This section ends on a really high note and I can’t urge you enough to go and check it out!“The research shows that when we sing with other people we literally become smarter, healthier, happier, more creative. Our memory, language and concentration improve, our brains become neuroplastic, our neural pathways start to connect in new and different ways and it literally gets us high.” - Tania de JongThe Disconnection EpidemicThis is one of our frequent topics but it’s always lovely to hear different perspectives on it. We talk about the disconnection epidemic at length and Tania offers some really cool suggestions for what might be able to help us bridge that gap.“People are feeling more and more disconnected. They don’t feel part of anything anymore, they don’t feel a sense of meaning and purpose. And they’re playing out their lives on social media but it’s unreal, it’s not actually something that’s truly meaningful… We need to work out what bringing back community and family and a sense of connection is really about. And we can probably use ancient wisdom and ancient modalities to bring us back to ourselves and to really connect with others and the planet so that we can feel a sense of purpose and service.” - Tania de JongCreativity as a Form of Survival and ThrivingI don’t think that there’s a better way to top off this amazing conversation centered around creativity. Tania reflects on her grandmother’s journey once again and explains how creativity can lead us from the most difficult of times into a life of service.“Once you use creativity to survive the hard times, you can then use it to thrive, then you can use it to become generous and of service.” - Tania de JongTania’s Message of Inspired EvolutionIf you’re looking to learn more about creativity, look no further! Definitely check out this episode because Tania’s diverse experience that comes from entrepreneurship, social change projects, and art allows for some incredible insights into the power of the creative process. She is truly an inspiration and I’m so grateful we were able to create this episode together. The conversation is also themed around servitude and how we can achieve that stage. Creativity is absolutely one of the most amazing ways of stepping into a life of service. I hope Tania’s story encourages you to explore your creative self.“Once you’ve got through your hard obstacle… and you come out the other end, you feel a greater sense of light and purpose. And it’s from that place that you can give to others. - Tania de Jong See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Acclaimed Australian director Warwick Thornton talks about his new, ironically titled film Sweet Country.

Acclaimed Australian filmmaker Bill Bennett heard a voice while rushing early one morning to the New Orleans airport. As he approached an intersection, the voice told him to slow down.  Fortunately Bill listened because a huge truck ran a red light on a cross street, missing him by inches. If not for that voice, Bill would have been killed. Ever since, Bill has been determined to find out what that voice was, where it came from, and why his life was saved. His documentary, PGS – Intuition is your Personal Guidance System documents his journey to find the source of the voice which saved his life. Over a 3 year period, Bill spoke to some of the world's leading experts on intuition, spanning the fields of science, religion, and spirituality - Dr. Caroline Myss, Dr. Norman Shealy, James Van Praagh, Dr. Judith Orloff, Michael Tamura, Dr. Dean Radin, Paul Selig and others. Bill discovered that intuition is part of a subtle energetic system that seeks to protect us and guide us along our life's journey so that we can achieve our true purpose – and lead a life of fulfillment and contentment. He called it our PGS – our Personal Guidance System. Visit www.billbennett.com.au and www.pgsthemovie.com. Get the Inclusion Revolution CD by Sister Jenna.  Like America Meditating.
