“Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.” ~ Dorothy Day

By Catherine Austin Fitts

This week on The Solari Report, Nina Heyn and I take a deep dive into Food for the Soul—Nina’s bimonthly column on films and art for The Solari Report—and into her goals as our roving “culture scout.”

Nina’s interest in art and film developed in her role as a film publicist, an international marketing executive, and an entertainment writer in the United States, as well as England, France, and Poland.

Nina is the founder of Torus International, a marketing strategy solutions consultancy that specializes in entertainment marketing and film acquisition, particularly in international markets. Her recent activities in international markets included service as head of marketing at a leading Polish independent film distributor, and as acquisitions consultant at a European exhibition and distribution company. In the United States, she served as an executive in global publicity for a major film studio—giving her a strong understanding of the worldwide economic and political impact of entertainment and culture.

Every year, Nina watches hundreds of movies and TV shows and spends an inordinate amount of time in museums. This keeps her soul happy and keeps The Solari Report full of fascinating coverage.

I joined Nina this March on the next leg of our celebration of Leonardo da Vinci’s 500th Anniversary and Rembrandt’s 350th Anniversary. Check out Nina’s first column on Leonardo da Vinci—The Year of da Vinci.

After several days in Milan and an inspiring day seeing the All the Rembrandts exhibit at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, our videographer Robert Dupper decided we should film our discussion traveling the canals of Amsterdam. Both da Vinci and Rembrandt lived in cities crisscrossed with canals.
