Into Great Silence. Are you interested in buying a copy through the NLM if you could?
The NLM has been approached with an opportunity and is thus exploring the possibility of making available for purchase to readers the much anticipated film, Into Great Silence, which as most should know by now, looks in depth at the monastic and semi-eremetical lives of the Carthusian monks of La Grande Chartreuse.To make this feasible and fruitful for the NLM (especially as a lot of work and organization would be involved), it would require a certain number of pre-orders, followed by collection of payment and shipping information so that I could then safely tell the supplier how many copies would be needed and pay them accordingly. Copies would cost $30.00 USD plus shipping and handling. (Shipping and Handling would likely be $10 USD to locations in Canada and the Continental USA.)However, if the NLM is to pursue this, we need firm committments of people who would be ready to commit to ordering this product through the NLM as of March. As such, those who are interested, please go here and fill in your name and email address (so that I may ascertain the level of interest): Form to Express Interest in Ordering DVD from the NLMAs the numbers matter in determining whether to move ahead with this, only those committing to ordering this through the NLM should put their name on the form. The formal decision will be made when numbers are sufficient, or by the last week in Februrary, whichever comes first.Please spread the word on your own blogs about this. The DVD seems worth promoting and getting into people's hands.
