...While we consume movies, movies consume us,” states Rob Moss, the Rudolf Arnheim Lecturer on Filmmaking in the department of Visual and Environmental Studies. “Yet films are difficult to make. It’s difficult to makes sense of the world,” he says.Such words embody Moss’ ontology: he combines philosophical inquiries with pragmatic questions, managing to seamlessly unite an untainted wonderment at the possibilities of film with the practical, ethical, and moral concerns of being a filmmaker.The first person in his family to attend college, Moss fell in love...
...officials said a new high-level appointee would be likely someone already in Bush's inner circle, such as former Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans; Budget Director Joshua B. Bolten; U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman; Karen Hughes, the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs; or former Republican National Committee chairmen Marc F.

Good-hearted, eccentric and wry, Ride goes nowhere fast, but it has a fine time getting there...
...made later in response to the specific talents and needs of the cast.Besides its very brief rehearsal period, Hanley’s “Chicago” faces the daunting task of equaling the high-caliber performances of both the long-running Broadway production and the star-studded Rob Marshall film version that many potential audience members have seen. This task presented difficulties from the very beginning, when a Harvard production of “Chicago” was little more than a pipe dream. Instead of merely buying performance rights for the show, as is normal procedure...
