The Difference Between Action and Contact at The Listening Room HQ

Wassily Kandinsky – Contact, 1924

The Difference Between Action and Contact, my new post at The Listening Room HQ – my men’s practice and The Polymath sister site – approaches the difference between action and contact in men’s lives. How constant doing can replace presence with self and others, and how real connection requires staying internally present even within action. You can read it at The Listening Room HQ site.

Hall of Fame de Cinema (Film Hall of Fame)

Hall of Fame de Cinema (Film Hall of Fame) is the creation of Bruno Fernandes, with whom I serve on the jury.

The project is run by Bruno alongside Jay (Luís Sá), Joana Oliveira, João Santiago & Lisa Ferreira, Miguel Ferreira, and Raquel Sampaio.

Hall of Fame de Cinema celebrates film through a “hall of fame” that may — or may not — match the canon.

Each year, the juri (this year 123 members) selects films, directors, actors, and actresses, as well as winners in four genre categories: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror, Action/Thriller, and Comedy. Two additional, year-specific categories are also chosen.

After the jury’s final selections, voting opens to the public.

The Hall of Fame de Cinema also features film essays, monologues, curiosities, and profiles of actors, actresses, and directors.

I hope you enjoy exploring the site — and discovering this year’s jury choices.
