Cinema 4dx Gaia

[Ray Kowalewski]

GaiaCinemas was a virtual space that allowed Gaians to assemble in a cinema lobby and check listings at the box office to view live action films and shorts. The movies shown were legally displayed as many were under fair use (public domain classics), sponsored, or paid-for-view by Gaians who would purchase tickets with Gaia Cash. The listings were set to update every Monday, however, this varied.

The outdated system is still use, and so there are both Old and New Gaia Cinemas. The theater setting is now used to display sponsor trailers. There are some links to various shorts that are still active.

To view a film visit one of the movie profiles below. In each profile, you'll see a list of screening rooms and show times. The number below each screen is the number of people currently in the theater. New showings begin every ten minutes.

We regret to report that after years of high-quality entertainment and electrifying Tony Danza movies, Gaia Cinemas have been closed due to what can only be described as a total lack of interest. We loved the feature, but we must now bid it a fond farewell.

LAPE: A lot of it was occupational, he was a seed starter at churches, and we were missionaries while we were in Mexico. So, a lot of it had to do with his occupation, and circumstantial. I mean they had five kids. They were dirt poor. We were living on food stamps, basically.

MARTIN: Just watching your film, I could see you are very much in tune of the psychology of how people think. After you were done studying under Ivana, you started out as an actor, correct? How did that go working as an actor in Hollywood?

LAPE: Oh yeah, absolutely. My agent was amazing. I always wanted to work with just women. Casting directors are almost always women, so you kind of bond with them, you build a relationship with them.

LAPE: I worked with Justin Howe, he came on first as sound. My original cinematographer, we had to part ways, which happens sometimes, early on. Then Justin was like I really want to do this. Like, give me an opportunity to do this.

The film is about the love story for the cinema and the life of the young Salvatore, the strong friendship with Alfredo, the projectionist of the small theater of the small city in which he lives, the discovery of affections, the land of Sicily.

Many important and touching scenes were shot in the charming town as the famous scene shot at Molo Vecchio and Porta Marina (where the open-air cinema screenings and the new meeting between Salvatore and Elena take place after 30 years).

Contemplative cinema is a genre of art cinema that features long takes, and is often minimalist, observational, and with little or no dialogue. They highlight the importance of atmosphere and the ambiance of the environment, emphasizing the background and the context over actions in the foreground. In this way, they encourage the viewer to enter into an experience of the film, rather than being pulled along a pre-given story structure with an expected outcome.

Most films rely on conventional storytelling and film-making methods to engineer filmic experiences that maximize entertainment value. Like an amusement park, they are intentionally constructed to solicit emotional responses that satisfy (which is why consumer research is incorporated into creative decision-making processes). By contrast, contemplative films feature a lot of ambiguity, empty space, and pause for reflection, inviting viewers to relate to the film and make meaning in ways that are personal. They are often very demanding films, because they require careful attention and emotional engagement and may involve subject matter that exposes us to vulnerability. But for this reason, they are also among the most transformative to watch.

Before watching, set an intention. While watching, maintain a meditative posture. Consider your affective reactions to what you see and hear. Notice how you make sense of the relationships between what the film presents and yourself. After watching, take some private moments to reflect upon and process your experience; then later, consider discussing the film with others.

Zack Walsh is a Senior Researcher of Economics and Governance at the One Project. From 2016-2020, he was a Research Associate at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam, Germany where he co-led the A Mindset for the Anthropocene (AMA) project. He has completed doctoral coursework in Process Studies at Claremont School of Theology, and is a fellow of the Courage of Care Coalition and a partner of the Institute for Ecological Civilization.

The challenges that the Institute faces are complex. The collaborative impact of the IIRA is of paramount importance to the viability of the Institute as an interdisciplinary body. Research innovation is essential to ensure that the Institute is not limited to one mode to address the Anthropocene; whether it is from a solely human, limited national horizon, or a perspective that does not take into account the globality of the Anthropocene.

The manifestation of Nuit, its visions in the hypnagogic fields of cinema. These magickal films are exploring various realms of consciousness, challenging the nature of cinema by their singular artistic visions, esoteric sensibilities and remarkable metaphysical insights.

Resonating with the ideas of great visionaries such as Aleister Crowley, John Dee, Edward Kelley and Derek Jarman, these films are reaching the furthest regions of perceptive ocular vision, where the eyes and the noumenal world unite. Dazzling visual alchemy, hypnotic magnetic pulsations, mesmerizing electronic compositions and beautiful magick rituals resides in these powerful mind-bending films.

This is an amazing post, Dan. So effortless and hitting all the right notes (or the the wrong notes should I say?!) of the film. Avatar is, plainly, cinema of hypocrisy. Really disheartening to see a veteran director stoop this low.

Gaia is a History major. They will be presenting their senior project, titled The Life and Culture of Lebian Berlin in the Weimar Republic. Their project analyzes literature, cinema, and queer spaces and how they culminated to inform the queer female experience in the interwar period in Berlin.

The Minister of Culture, Dalila Rodrigues, today congratulated directors Miguel Gomes and Daniel Soares on their awards at the Cannes Film Festival in France, stressing that Portuguese cinema is showing great vitality.

Thirty five American and European films where the theme of suicide had been addressed were randomly selected from a cinema database ( ). A questionnaire with data about the films screened was developed specifically for the study, which was filled to the extent that each film was viewed. The psychiatric diagnoses related with suicide were made according to DSM-IV-TR.

The profile from the suicide was: caucasian male, mid aged (It is important to reflect on the vision that the movies provide in the general public about suicide, mental disease and in which way they shape the perception about the mentally ill and those who treat them.
