ADA: MY MOTHER THE ARCHITECT is a documentary directed by Yael Melamede, the daughter of the titular mother, Ada Karim-Melamede.Karim-Melamede is one of Israel's finest architects, receiving the Israel Prize for architecture in 2007, an honor she shares with both her father and brother. She co-designed Israel's Supreme Court with her brother from 1982 to 1992. This was a move intended to only keep her separate from her American-based husband and three kids for a year. 40 years later, Ada continues to live alone in Tel Aviv.This tension between mother and daughter is inherent to the story, but never beholden to it. Yael, a self-proclaimed failed architect in her own right, approaches interviewing her mother against a typical cradle-to-career-to-family path. She gets Ada to talk the most by asking about architecture.It's through Ada's breakdowns of five concepts that Yael is able to blend a primer on architectural appreciation with her mother's history. This movie coming in the wake of THE BRUTALIST's success last year doesn't surprise me. What it does do, however, is expand the horizons of my understanding. You can look at a pretty building all day, but once you understand how the architect chooses, characterizes, synthesizes each decision, almost like a filmmaker blocking each frame? It's hard to ever again look at a building with merely a passive gaze.Via Ada's conversations about architectural roots, the role of one's heart, the passage of time and the need to respect the past when it comes time to carve a creative future, I learn about this woman's devotion to the environment, history, the fulfillment of a grand ideological promise, and mostly, the benefits of creating within a community.What Yael Melamede is able to pull off in 80 minutes is astonishing. I shouldn't have expected any less from someone with such a history in design. ---Please rate, review & subscribe to The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram & Letterboxd

Philipp, Tony und Lisa haben sich an einem warmen Frühlingstag in Berlin getroffen und ein paar Sachen erlebt. Neben fragwürdigen Rapbattles, Scams und Snacks, reden wir auch kurz über "Eraserhead" im Kino, "Better Man", "The Brutalist" und "Mickey17".

This week on The Chazz Palminteri Show, Chazz is joined by award-winning actor Alessandro Nivola, known for his powerful performances in Face/Off, The Many Saints of Newark, Laurel Canyon, and the recently acclaimed film The Brutalist. In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Alessandro opens up about growing up in a deeply artistic family, the projects that shaped his career, and what it means to choose authenticity over fame. He also shares behind-the-scenes moments working with Hollywood icons, how his upbringing influenced his path, and why sometimes turning down a big paycheck is the best decision for an artist. This episode is a must-listen for actors, creatives, and anyone who values the pursuit of meaningful work.

The Brutalist has been one of the most talked about films of the year and taps into a rich vein of films and television that dramatise the immigrant experience. From The Godfather Part 2 to Small Axe, The Emigrants to Home and Away and An American Tail - Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode examine how filmmakers have investigated and portrayed the perils, patterns and adventure of human movement across the globe.Mark speaks to film critic Christina Newland about the history of immigrant epics in Hollywood - from Once Upon a Time in America to The Brutalist.Ellen then speaks to writer and creator of the tv series Get Millie Black, Marlon James, about his experience watching Small Axe for the first time. Ellen also talks to director Sir Steve McQueen about his anthology series Small Axe and how the films act as their own immigrant epic for the Windrush generation.Producer: Queenie Qureshi-Wales A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

In this episode of Generation AI, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu discuss recent significant AI developments across education, entertainment, and technology. They analyze President Trump's executive order on AI education for K-12 schools, which challenges the "cheating narrative" and aims to promote AI literacy. They also examine the Academy Awards' decision to accept AI-assisted films for consideration. The hosts then dive deep into OpenAI's new O3 model, exploring how its multimodal reasoning capabilities allow it to process text, images, and code in unified ways that mimic human thinking. The episode highlights practical applications for marketing, data analysis, and higher education enrollment strategies.Introduction and News Updates (00:00:00)Welcome to the Generation AI podcast focused on higher educationIntroduction of hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis KadiuOverview of the episode's main topics: executive order on AI education, Oscars' AI acceptance, and OpenAI's O3 modelExecutive Order on AI Education (00:03:04)President Trump signed an executive order on April 23rd promoting AI education for youthThe order creates a White House task force to oversee federal funding for AI literacyDiscussion on how this challenges the current trend of banning AI in 60% of US schoolsArdis shares personal experience of his children being afraid to use AI for educational purposesThe order aims to remove the "AI equals bad" mental block in studentsGlobal Competitiveness in AI Education (00:07:24)Debate on whether the US K-12 education system is globally competitiveDiscussion of inconsistencies in education quality across districts and statesComparison to other countries where students are actively building AI skillsNeed for improved AI literacy to maintain competitive advantageThe Academy Awards' AI Decision (00:08:56)The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated rules for the 98th OscarsFilms using generative AI tools are now eligible for awardsThe use of AI will neither help nor harm a film's chances of nominationHuman-driven artistry will remain the priority in judgingDiscussion of the film "The Brutalist" which used AI for accent enhancementSignificance of this as validation for AI in creative fieldsUpdates on Frontier AI Models (00:13:42)Brief mention of recent model releases from Google and GrokFocus on OpenAI's O3 as a "multimodal marvel" for reasoningThe race of AI development continues with focus on scalable agentsDiscussion of naming conventions for OpenAI modelsOpenAI's O3 Model Capabilities (00:16:20)O3 represents a departure from conversational chatbots toward visual thinkingThe model excels at coding, math, science, and visual reasoningIt processes text, images, and code in a unified reasoning frameworkVisual thinking capabilities comparable to human thinking processesDiscussion of performance improvements and acceleration in model capabilitiesThe companion O4 Mini model for lightweight real-time applicationsTesting O3 vs Other Models (00:25:28)JC and Ardis compare experiences using different OpenAI modelsComparison between O3 and GPT-4o outputs for the same promptO3's tendency to use tables and structured formats for certain outputsArdis recommends using O3 for coding, PDF analysis, and creative feedbackPractical Applications of O3 (00:30:34)Content creation capabilities for ad copy generationCampaign visual analysis through multimodal reasoningData analysis improvements for marketing datasetsBetter handling of unstructured tasks in higher educationStrategic data-driven approaches to enrollment managementDemo of creating visual ads with iterative refinements in minutesExample of financial analysis from complex spreadsheetsChatGPT Memory Feature Update (00:40:37)New feature allowing ChatGPT to use prior conversations as contextBenefits of the system remembering previous interactionsHow this enables personalization of AI responsesImpact on workflow efficiency and personalized assistanceConclusion (00:43:07)Final thoughts on AI integration into human activitiesClosing remarks and podcast network information - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

IndieSeen sells out! This month, Ian and Sujewa welcome Jeff York for a spirited discussion of Adrian Lyne's blockbuster relationship drama, Indecent Proposal.This (very loose) adaptation of Jack Engelhard's novel centers on David (Woody Harrelson) and Diana (Demi Moore), a young married couple who, after loosing their meager savings in Las Vegas, are presented with a life-changing offer from billionaire John Gage (Robert Redford): $1 million to spend the night with Diana. The encounter and its after-effects may have split the narrative right down the middle--but it united audiences in making Indecent Proposal one of the highest-grossing films of 1993.In this spoilerific episode, the guys examine the movie in a few different contexts: as a comparison to the source material; as an awkward attempt to fit Lyne's film into the trendy "erotic thriller" niche; and as a bungled telling of what could have been (in more thoughtful hands) a challenging and dare-we-say-"sexy" head-trip for the ages.They also talk bad casting; Indecent Proposal's unfortunate connection to The Brutalist; and the recently announced news that Redford's Sundance Film Festival is vacating Park City, Utah, after nearly 40 years!Subscribe, like, and comment on Kicking the Seat here on YouTube, and check us out at:kickseat.comXBlueSkyInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Indecent Proposal (1993) trailer.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Check out Sujewa's latest podcast venture, This Arthouse Life!

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá fiche de mhí Aibreán. Is mise Sibéal Dempsey.Fuair an Pápa Proinsias bás Dé Luain de bharr stróc agus cliseadh croí, tar éis dó a bheith thíos le tinneas riospráide den chuid is mó den bhliain seo. Glacadh isteach san ospidéal éden chéad uair ar an gceathrú lá déag de mhí Feabhra mar gheall ar thinneas a d'fhorbair ina niúmóine dúbailte sa deireadh. Bhí an Pápa, a bhí ochtó a hocht mbliana d'aois, ar an gcéad phontaif as Meiriceá Laidineach agus bhí cáil air, i measc rudaí eile, as dúshlán a thabhairt do ghníomhaíochtaí polaiteoirí agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an ngéarchéim aeráide agus as a bheith ina ghuth do na boicht. Bhí a láithreas poiblí deireanach ar an Domhnach nuair a thug sé beannacht na Cásca i gcearnóg Naomh Peadar. Tá Kevin Farrell, a rugadh i mBaile Átha Cliath, chun an Vatacáin a stiúradh go dtí godtoghfar pápa nua, rud a bhfuiltear ag súil leis sna seachtainí beaga amach romhainn.Tá tuairiscí ar an dara seomra comhrá Signal a úsáideadh chun oibríochtaí míleata na Stát Aontaithe a phlé ag cur brú ar rúnaí cosanta na Stát Aontaithe, Pete Hegseth, éirí as. I measc an chomhrá bhí Hegseth, a bhean chéile, a dheartháir agus timpeall dosaen duine eile. Sa chomhrá, tá sé i gceist gur roinn Hegseth sonraí faoi ionsaí na Stát Aontaithe ar reibiliúnaigh Yemeni Houthi an mhí seo caite lena n-áirítear sceidil eitilte, cosúil leis an méid a roinneadh sa chéad chomhrá Signal go poiblí an mhí seo caite. Chosain Trump Hegseth agócáid chaitheamh Uibheacha na Cásca sa Teach Bán ag rá go raibh jab iontach á dhéanamh aige.É sin ráite, deir saineolaithe slándála gur féidir go mbeidh spiairí idirnáisiúnta ag díriú ar Hegseth anois.Fógraíodh rialacha nua maidir le roghnú na mbuaiteoirí Oscar an tseachtain seo. Chuir ceann amháin díobh sin, go gcaithfidh an painéal moltóirí féachaint ar na scannáin ábhartha ar fad, fearg ar dhaoine nach raibh sé seo ina riachtanas cheana féin. Mar thoradh ar riail nua eile, go bhféadfaí scannáin atá ag brath ar Intleacht Shaorga a roghnú mar bhuaiteoirí, tá díospóireacht theasaí ar siúl, cé go bhfuil sé ráite ag an Acadamh freisin go measfadh sé rannpháirtíocht an duine sa phróiseas roghnúcháin. Tháinig fadhb chun cinn maidir le húsáid intleacht shaorga i scannáin bhuaiteacha tar éis é a úsáid chun an scannán The Brutalist a fhorbairt, go háirithe chun blas an phríomh-aisteora a fheabhsú nuair a labhair sé san Ungáiris. Tá béim curtha ag roinnt aisteoirí agus scríbhneoirí scáileáin ar an mbaol go gcaillfí saothar le intleacht shaorga agus go n-úsáidfí é chun mí-úsáid a bhaint as a n-íomhá féin.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Plus AI Films Can Now Win OscarsLike this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox, 3x a week. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usMIT's 'Periodic Table' of Machine Learning Is a Total Game-ChangerMIT researchers just dropped a "periodic table" for machine learning, mapping out how 20+ classic algorithms are mathematically connected. This framework lets scientists remix existing methods to create new AI models—like one that beat current image classifiers by 8%. Even cooler? There are blank spots hinting at undiscovered algorithms. It's like AI's own version of scientific alchemy.When AI Makes Art: What Happens to Human Creativity?As AI-generated art floods our feeds, the real question isn't "Can AI be creative?" but "What does creativity mean now?" This editor's letter explores how AI reshapes art, urging us to see it not as a threat but as a partner. The future of creativity might be more collaborative than we ever imagined. AI Films Are Now Eligible for Oscars—But Human Creativity Still ReignsThe Academy has updated its rules: films using AI tools are officially Oscar-eligible. But here's the twist—AI won't boost or hurt your chances. What matters is how much human creativity is at the core. This comes after AI-enhanced performances like Adrien Brody's in The Brutalist stirred debate. The message? AI can assist, but the heart of the story better be human.China and the U.S. Are Building AI Empires—But on Totally Different FoundationsThe U.S. and China are both racing to dominate AI, but their strategies are worlds apart. While the U.S. flexes with cutting-edge GPUs and cloud giants, China is going DIY—crafting its own chips like Huawei's Ascend 910C and training models like DeepSeek on limited hardware. Despite U.S. export bans, China's scaling up with what it's got, proving that necessity really is the mother of invention.The 4 Types of AI Agent Users—and What They WantA new survey breaks down AI agent users into four vibes: Smarty Pants (info junkies), Minimalists (keep it simple), Life-Hackers (efficiency nerds), and Tastemakers (curated everything). Each group has unique needs, from decision support to personalized recs. For brands, it's a cheat sheet for building AI tools that actually click with users.Who Has Time to Be Polite to ChatGPT?TechRadar's Graham Barlow questions the habit of saying "please" and "thank you" to AI like ChatGPT. He argues that since AI lacks consciousness, such politeness is unnecessary and time-consuming. Barlow also notes that these extra words increase computational load, leading to higher costs and environmental impact. He advocates for concise interactions, reserving courtesy for human exchanges.

In this episode of High Theory Nasser Mufti talks with us about Brutalism. A twentieth century architectural style featuring imposing structures made of a lot of concrete, brutalist structures tend to provoke strong reactions. People either love it or they hate it – you never get a middling conversation about brutalism. Often used for government buildings, university libraries, and hospitals, Nasser suggests it represents the architecture of the state itself, massive bureaucratic structures in which we get lost, but also perhaps, nostalgia for a state that actually takes care of its citizens. Before we recorded the episode, Nasser sent me this article about the Brutalist campus at the University of Illinois where he works, which is full of beautiful black and white images. In the episode he refers to a line in Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1853), which describes Chesney Wold as “seamed by time.” And he reminds us that verb form “decolonizing” is quite new, even Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong'o Decolonizing the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature (1986) only uses the gerund in the title. The neologism “decolonizing” is distinct from the world historical project of decolonization and the historiographic method of decolonial analysis that comes from Latin American studies. Nasser Mufti is an associate professor of English at the University of Illinois, Chicago, where his research and teaching focuses on nineteenth century British and postcolonial literature and theory. He is especially interested in literary approaches to the study of nationalism. His first book, Civilizing War: Imperial Politics and the Poetics of National Rupture (Northwestern University Press, 2018) argues that narratives of civil war energized and animated nineteenth-century British imperialism and decolonization in the twentieth century. You can read it online, open access, which is pretty damn cool! He is working on two new projects, the first, tentatively titled Britain's Nineteenth Century, 1963-4, looks at how anticolonial and postcolonial thinkers from the Anglophone world turned to nineteenth century British literature and culture as a way to think decolonization. The second, titled “Colonia Moralia,” examines the dialectics of postcolonial Enlightenment through comparative readings of T.W. Adorno and V.S. Naipaul. The image for this episode is a photograph of Boston City Hall, a Brutalist building mentioned in the episode. The black and white photograph shows an interior courtyard of the building, a large concrete structure with many windows, located at One City Hall Square, Boston, Suffolk County, MA.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 136 - Judy Becker - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Judy Becker (THE BRUTALIST, CAROL, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN). Judy's love for art and collaboration began at the age of 3 and developed throughout her childhood, and after discovering the theatre department in high school, she found her way into the New York filmmaking scene. Having worked in a number of projects across many different periods of history, Judy shares how she approaches bringing those spaces to life, and we reflect on the fact that absolute accuracy to a period doesn't always look real on the screen. Later, during our discussion of her work on THE BRUTALIST, Judy reflects on the challenges of communicating with a crew whose language is nothing like her own, and she reveals how they fought for scraps of plywood and found (and built) post-war America in Hungary. Judy also shares how she approached designing The Institute—the architectural centerpiece of the film—and she reveals how they used the scale model they built in the actual shoot. We also discuss the differences between working on location and in a stage, and Judy shares the creative attraction to working on producer Ryan Murphy's many television shows. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Ustvarjalci filma Brutalist so želeli ustvariti tako popolne dialoge v madžarščini, da je angleško govoreča igralca “popravila” umetna inteligenca. V imenu popolnosti so umetno inteligenco uporabili tudi za izpopolnitev pevskega glasu glavne igralke v filmu Emilia Perez. Je popolnost res bolj avtentična? Kje je meja med računalniško generiranimi podobami, ki so v filmih že stalnica, in poseganjem v delo umetnika in avtorskimi pravicami?Odbiti ekipi se pridružuje kolegica z Multimedijskega centra RTV Slovenija in filmska kritičarka Ana Jurc, gost je glasbeni producent in novinar Gregor Kocijančič.

For this week's episode, it's a mini one, as both Myles and I are a bit busy. So, instead of leaving you without a podcast, I'm instead presenting my interviews this past season with newly minted Academy Award winners. You'll hear me talk to Sean Baker and Mikey Madison from Anora, Adrien Brody from The Brutalist, and Peter Straughan from Conclave. They just won Oscars, but before that, they chatted with me. So, enjoy those conversations, and stay tuned for a full new episode next week...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, coming between our 232nd and 233rd ones (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!

While some find AI riveting and revolutionary, many in creative communities are filled with fear. Fear of unsustainability, fear of the future of the industry as a whole, and fear that disembodied computers are going to make jobs obsolete while causing irreversible damage to the planet in the process. Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since we first saw Will Smith eating that bowl of spaghetti, even making it to this year's Oscars ceremony. Films like EMILIA PEREZ and THE BRUTALIST came under fire for their use of AI to amplify the vocal performances of their actors, raising questions about transparency and ethical practices. That leads me to today's guest, Alex Serdiuk. Alex is the CEO of the Ukrainian company Respeecher, the AI software that enhanced Adrien Brody's Hungarian dialogue and synthesized a young Luke Skywalker's voice in THE MANDALORIAN. Unlike other AI companies, however, Respeecher prides itself on adhering to a strict code of ethics that includes transparency, actor consent, and union consultation. I feel ambivalent towards the AI of it all, but as someone who faces my fears and follows my curiosities, it was time to poke the hornet's nest. Tune in! xx CG

Specifically, the swirling controversies around this year's Oscars race, which culminates Sunday at the annual Academy Awards ceremony.

David Remnick is joined by Alexandra Schwartz, the co-host of the podcast Critics at Large, and The New Yorker's august film critic Richard Brody. They talk about the past year in film and predict the victors of the Academy Awards. Brody dismisses “The Brutalist”—a film that merely uses the Holocaust “as metaphor”—and tells Remnick that “Wicked” might win Best Picture. “I think there's a huge desire for cinematic comfort food that makes a billion dollars.” Continuing the Radio Hour's annual tradition, Brody discusses nominees and selects the winners of the coveted award that we call The Brody.

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang.   The Academy Awards are Hollywood's grandest night—the moment when months of speculation, surprise wins, and snubs all culminate in one golden evening. And this year, the road to Oscar glory has been anything but predictable.   Was Anora's big night at the Critics Choice, DGA, and PGA the ultimate confirmation that it's the Best Picture frontrunner, or is there still room for a shocking upset? Will Sean Baker walk away with Best Director, or could someone else—maybe The Brutalist's Brady Corbet or Emilia Pérez's Jacques Audiard—steal the moment? And what about Wicked, which just had a stunning, completely unexpected win for Jon M. Chu at the Critics Choice Awards? Could the musical blockbuster actually shake up the race?   From underdog stories to behind-the-scenes drama, tonight, we're unpacking all the Oscar buzz with film critic Smithsonian Associate Noah Gittell. Noah Gittell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…please check out our show notes today for more details. He's been following every twist and turn of this year's awards season, sorting through the narratives, the rumors, and the history that tell us where the Oscars might be headed. Plus, he's got the trivia and insights that will make sure you're the most informed person at your Oscars party.   It's a night of predictions, controversy, and maybe even a little Hollywood gossip. So, sit back and enjoy—this is going to be a fun one. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old – Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast.
