Brought to you by Bruce Baker and Semantic Compaction Systems, the creation story of the "Minspeak" method is told in parallel. Starring and narrated by Chris Klein and Jennifer Lowe, the film offers a portrait of the lives and souls of “non-speakers,” looking beyond how they communicate, into why they are driven to do so. See their stories told through cinematic visuals and enlightening first-hand accounts of the human desire to communicate. Directed by: Colin Sander TRT: 56 minutes.

 

President Reception

View of room Marques de ComillasThe President Reception will take place in the Museo Marítim de Barcelona on 27th July 2010

The Museo Marítim de Barcelona is the result of an extension to the medieval enclosure, which was undertaken in the 17th century but followed the plans corresponding to the Gothic units.

Having been restored in 1992, the spectacular, welcoming complex provides a chance to enjoy one of the city of Barcelona’s most representative settings. Its size and features enable it to host a tremendous variety of events, including concerts, parades, exhibitions, presentations and gala dinners. In short, it is an ancient structure for modern celebrations.
