The most rapid industrial revolution ever is here. The Silicon-Valley-istation of how we work is rife, technology is giving unprecedented work freedom, culture and purpose are hygiene factors for employees, traditional work spaces are becoming obsolete, trust and accountability are the engines of personal growth, optimism and openness are key leadership traits to follow, and where we work and how we grow are factors more valuable than remuneration. And, alongside all these shifts, coming out of this forced moment of Coronavirus reflection, the world is recalibrating to work to live, instead of living to work.

Canadian Cinema Since the 1980s

Award-winning author David L. Pike offers a unique focus on the crucial quarter-century in Canadian filmmaking when the industry became a viable force on the international stage. Pike provides a lively, personal, and accessible history of the most influential filmmakers and movements of both Anglo-Canadian and Quebecois cinema, from popular movies to art film and everything in between. Along with in-depth studies of key directors, including David Cronenberg, Patricia Rozema and Denys Arcand, Jean-Claude Lauzon, Robert Lepage, Léa Pool, Atom Egoyan, and Guy Maddin, Canadian Cinema since the 1980s reflects on major themes and genres and explores the regional and cultural diversity of the period. Pike positions Canadian filmmaking at the frontlines of a profound cinematic transformation in the age of global media and presents fresh perspectives on both its local and international contexts. Making a significant advance in the study of the film industry of the period, Canadian Cinema since the 1980s is also an ideal text for students, researchers, and Canadian film enthusiasts.

Blended finance in the agricultural sector deserves its own debate. This is why the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) together with the EC Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO) organised the first international conference on Blending for Agriculture (“Blending4Ag”) in November 2016 in Brussels. The conference brought together an impressive group of financiers, high-level agricultural experts, policy-makers and practitioners to share lessons and best practices in designing and implementing blending. This conference focused on how public finance for smallholder agriculture can achieve the greatest possible leverage in terms of private investments in developing countries.
