Just because they're short doesn't make them any less entertaining, important or meaningful. In fact, one could argue that the short film format actually makes the art of filmmaking a greater challenge, considering the microscopic budgets and the narrative limitations of time. These wee gems of the cinema are labours of love, not box office returns.

Live Simulcast: Leonardo Live

LEONARDO LIVE is a showcase of the completely sold out Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery in London.

NEW YORK - Beginning February 16, 2012, art lovers around the world will be able to experience LEONARDO LIVE, a satellite-delivered HD presentation of the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition "Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan", captured at the U.K. National Gallery.

LEONARDO LIVE offers an unprecedented opportunity for audiences worldwide to experience these da Vinci works. The historic exhibition is sold out in London and, due to the fragility of the paintings, the exhibition cannot tour.

Movie: Fredrick Wiseman's Crazy Horse

ICelebrated documentary director Frederick Wiseman spent ten weeks with his camera exploring one of the most mythic places dedicated to women, the CRAZY HORSE PARIS. This legendary Parisian cabaret, founded in 1951 by Alain Bernardin, has become over the years the Parisian nightlife "must" for locals as well as any visitors, ranking alongside the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Wiseman's impeccable eye allows us to enter into this intriguing international temple of the Parisian cabaret world and to discover what makes the Crazy Horse tick: elegance, perfectionism and a grueling schedule (with 2 shows a night and 3 on Saturdays, 7 days a week).

Art Exhibit: Journeys

TSL's Art Gallery is exhibiting the works of Jane Gennaro and Linda Mussmann as two different ways of seeing and thinking and noting the passing of time and travel

Gennaro's work is a series of drawings which are spontaneous diaries of thinking and imagining Jane in Jane's world...these are daily scribblings that reflect the performer/artist's thoughts of her time and life in New York City-here you see her travel with the pen noting her musings.

Mussmann shares her mother's scrap books from trips across America starting in 1950. She also includes some of her note books that she has kept for over 30 plus years-in these books you see some similar thoughts of journeys most imagined -these trips were the fodder for theater pieces-some trips went through the civil war, some trips went through the badlands of the mind and created staged works from the late 1970's starting with a piece called ROOM/RAUM (deeply influenced by Gertrude Stein) to the Civil War Chronicles, to the projects where Clover was invented to be a kind of Chaplinesque figure representing "linda" as she toured the landscape of "DEALS & DIALOGUES". Check it out...stop in or see it while attending a performance.

UPCOMING EVENTS

National Theatre of London - NT Live
Live Simulcast: The Comedy of Errors

Shakespeare's furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time. Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound.

Live Simulcast: She Stoops to Conquer

To come to my house, to call for what he likes, toturn me out of my own chair, to insult the family, to order his servants to get drunk, and then to tell me, "This house is mine, sir". By all that's impudent it makes me laugh.

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal's son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he's mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he's a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle's indignation intensifies, Miss Hardcastle's appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, mayhem ensues.

This little barmaid though runs in my head most strangely, and drives out the absurdities of all the rest of the family. She's mine, she must be mine, or I'm greatly mistaken.

One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.
