Pangea Day - Baruch College
Pangea Day @ Baruch College
May 10, 2008 2:00 – 6:00pm EDT
Newman Vertical Campus Rm 3-160
Join us for Pangea Day at Baruch College hosted by Professor Kyra D. Gaunt, jointly appointed in Fine and Performing Arts, Sociology/Anthropology and Black and Hispanic Studies, as part of the Friends of Pangea Day programming. As one of the most diverse institutions in the U.S. it is perfect that Baruch host the global event known as Pangea Day (http://www.pangeaday.org) bringing the world together through film. In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common—what Professor Gaunt calls the "remarkable oneness of humanity".
In 2006, filmmaker Jehane Noujaim won the TED Prize (http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/6), an annual award granted at the TED Conference (www.ted.com). She was granted $100,000, and more important, a wish for the world. Her wish was to create a day in which the world came together through film. Pangea Day grew out of that wish. Watch Jehane Noujaim’s 2006 acceptance speech now http://www.pangeaday.org/?vid=2.
Starting at 18:00 GMT (2:00pm EDT) on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the Internet, television, and mobile phones. Some people will drive miles to watch, and others will just turn on their television sets. Some will wake up before the sun has risen, and others will stay up through the night.
The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from an international competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over one hundred countries. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person's eyes. Details on the Pangea Day films can be viewed at
http://www.pangeaday.org/pangeadayFilms.php
The program will also include a number of exceptional speakers and musical performers. Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof, and Iranian rock phenom Hypernova are among those taking part.
Pangea Day will be a moment in history. Join us and watch on May 10th.
Local day/time: May 10, 2008 2:00 – 6:00pm EDT
Location: Newman Vertical Campus Rm 3-160
This event is free and open to the Baruch College community and their families.
