Well, I’ve sat on this email for about a month, so time to send as I just discovered the Cannes website and saw a red carpet photo with Claudio: http://a69.g.akamai.net/7/69/7515/v1/img5.allocine.fr/img_cis/images/festivaldecannes/img/vign photocannes2006_gb_18358107_05272353137053.jpg from: http://www.festival-cannes.fr/films/fiche_film.php?langue=6002&id_film=4352625 Dear all, I have known Claudio Tamburrini for much less time than many IAPS members, but I wonder how many people know about his less formal philosophical writing. For some of the newer members who might not have met Claudio, you will be familiar with his views on a range of sport ethical issues, particularly his work on performance enhancement. Just last week he launched, with Torbjorn Tannsjo, a new volume in the Routledge Ethics and Sport series called ‘Genetic Technology in Sport: Ethical Questions’. Aside from this, Claudio has also written an autobiographical novelisation (apologies if that is not an appropriate description Claudio), called ‘Pase Libre’, which is published in Spanish. Well, this wasn’t really supposed to be a biography of Claudio, just a friendly ‘heads up’ to his buddies. So.... Last week (now last month), I saw Claudio in Oxford and learned that ‘Pase Libre’ had been made into a movie and is soon to be released (now shown in Cannes). I just think this is fantastic and thought everybody should know about it! It’s not often that a philosopher – let alone a sport philosopher – makes such great strides at transcending creative barriers, so this one couldn’t be overlooked. The film, Cronica de una Fuga, is already kicking up a storm in Argentina and has made the Official Selection at Cannes this year. I have just taken a look at the trailers, which look amazing and I can’t wait to see it! Can we set up some kind of screening at Niagara? :) So, without going on and on about the movie, I’ll direct you to its website and urge you to harass Claudio with emails, especially since he is looking quite tired from all the media interviews. http://www.cronicadeunafuga.com Best wishes, Andy PS: This email took longer to write than I had expected!
