This time we will gather from 16:30 onwards to watch and discuss Blue Velvet  (see trailer here). \nThe movie will start SHARP at 17:15. \nDAVID LYNCH IN MEMORIAM\n\nAs many of you will know or might have heard\, legendary film director David Lynch passed away last 15th January. Next Wednesday\, 5th February\, CEPPA Film Club has decided to honour his memory with a screening of his classic ‘Blue Velvet’.\n\nTrying to present the work of David Lynch\, or even Lynch himself\, is itself no easy task. A painter by formation\, a filmmaker (in his words) by chance\, who repeatedly credited his creativity to “meditating and drinking coffee”\, Lynch is known for the oneiric and uncanny atmospheres of his films\, which twist (and enrich) mundane reality with hidden meanings and subconscious motives.\n\n‘Blue Velvet’ (1986) is the perfect representation of this vision: a young\, highly conventional American college student (Kyle McLachlan)\, living in a seemingly perfect suburban neighbourhood\, gets entangled with a woman (Isabella Rossellini) and a local gangster (Denis Hopper) in an increasingly disturbing plot.\n\nContent warning: includes explicit sexual and/or otherwise shocking content (which caused the film to be rejected by about all the major production companies in the eighties\, so seemed worth flagging this) URL:/philevents/event/film-and-philosophy-at-ceppa-blue-velvet/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Film and Philosophy Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/philevents/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Blue-Velvel-FC-Poster_page-0001-0oyQee.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250206T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250206T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T214948 CREATED:20250204T192316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250206T192313Z UID:10002400-1738852200-1738855800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:This week we will be discussing Rebecca Brown – ‘Sneaky Persuasion in Public Health Risk Communication’. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-173/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250206T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250206T173000 DTSTAMP:20260613T214948 CREATED:20250131T185310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250206T192313Z UID:10002389-1738857600-1738863000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Philip Ebert (University of Stirling) DESCRIPTION:Title: Philosophical Challenges in Risk Communication of Rare and Severe Events \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will discusses different philosophical challenges in communicating and dealing with the risk of rare and severe events. As a case study\, I use avalanche risk: a form of voluntary risk taking in which the individual is often partly responsible for the occurrence of the relevant event. In particular\, I highlight the challenge that avalanche risk communicators face when “informing” or “educating” individuals about the relevant risks\, and I will present some experimental work on the risk perception of end users of the Scottish avalanche forecasts and discuss their (mis)understanding of the relevant risks. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-philip-ebert-university-of-stirling/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
