The Shawna Foundation Presents Creating Dangerously.
Creating Dangerously, is based on the lecture by Albert Camus which he gave on December 14, 1957 at Uppsala University in Sweden, four days after he gave his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
In it he said “To create today means to create dangerously. Every publication is a deliberate act, and that act makes us vulnerable to the passions of a century that forgives nothing."
”
He said this 12 years after the end of World War II, in which he played a major role in the French Underground. Being a witness to the holocaust, fascism, Stalin’s crimes against humanity and the dropping of the atom bomb twice only helped confirm his philosophy of absurdism which he had formed in the shadows of World War I which took his father.
What has changed? We have lived through things like the September 11 attack, to a pandemic to the new threat of the rise of fascism globally. Again. This century also forgives nothing.
With hosts Skip Shea, Patrick Bracken and Andrea Wolanin we will explore artists past and present who are doing their part to create dangerously to try to make sense of a world that often doesn't make sense at all.

We traveled to Rome Italy and sat down for a brief conversation with cult film director Luigi Cozzi in his Profondo Rosso store and talked about his movies, what is a cult movie, the future of filmmaking and a little advice to filmmakers today. It's always fun to sit down with our friend Luigi Cozzi!
You can find Luigi Cozzi's movies on Amazon, Severin and most other movie retail stores.
You can find his books on Amazon. He's a terrific film historian, you'll definitely want to check some out.
And here is a link to find out more about the Profondo Rosso store! A must stop if you are ever in Rome. Or you can shop from home!
To learn more about the history of VIPCO, who helped distribute some of the best titles in the history of cult cinema. Here is an article from the Reprobate by David Flint about Vipco's history.
Vipco has since returned and is releasing new genre titles.
Full disclosure, one of them is mine. -
