President of World Film Institute: 'To Come to Your Show and See It Gives You Energy'

LOS ANGELES—The Chinese New Year Spectacular in Los Angeles arrived on Friday, Jan. 18 at the new Nokia Theater and brought an exuberant crowd.

One of the audience was Antonio Gellini, President of World Film Institute in Los Angeles who brought his guest Robert Rooks, owner of several TV stations.

"I love different cultures. I am fascinated to introduce cultures to other people. I have been around the world several times. I see the unique beauty of each culture. The universe doesn't know enough about China," said Gellini.

"Every town in China has stories from the past and they are not finished and they communicate the culture.

"What we need is peace of mind. What's going on now, this bombing in the Middle East. We are living at a time of change.

"This show is a good avenue [for learning about Chinese culture]. It's good healing. This is the nuclear weapon we need."

Gellini believes Chinese music has healing properties. "I am very busy. To come to your show and see it gives you energy. This is my break."

"Robert thinks this show would be good in Las Vegas," said Gellini, and it just so happens that it will be there on Jan. 21.

There are three more Divine Performing Arts shows at Nokia Theater LA Live, two on Saturday Jan. 19 and one on Sunday, Jan. 20. T he Chinese Spectacular shows will appear next in Las Vegas and then at San Francisco's Orpheum Theater for seven shows starting on Jan. 23 at 2:00 p.m.
