The highest prize given to a film at the Venice Film Festival
POPULARITY
In this week's tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a truly legendary artist, director, and filmmaker. He turned suburbia, teen angst, and small town life into objects of horror, admiration, and pity. Genius, artist, and madman… It's David Lynch! While Lynch had little interest in schoolwork growing up, a love for painting brought him to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He would later shock the movie business with a student film in response to the madness of America in the days of Vietnam. With a career spanning over five decades, Lynch is known for his incredibly vivid, unforgettable, and dreamlike films including Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), Dune (1984), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001), and more. He received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006, an Academy Honorary Award, and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations for surrealist horror-mystery series Twin Peaks.

As Mike Leigh's five-decade career takes centre stage at the Paris Cinémathèque for a retrospective, the British filmmaker speaks to Eve Jackson about 50 years of making movies, from the raw intensity of "Naked" and the jubilant optimism of "Happy-Go-Lucky", to historical storytelling in "Peterloo" and "Mr Turner". With accolades like the Palme d'Or for "Secrets & Lies" at the Cannes Film festival and the Golden Lion for "Vera Drake" at Venice, at 82 Leigh continues to illuminate humanity's complexities with his latest film "Hard Truths".

"The Brutalist" and "The Room Next Door" had their world premieres at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, where they received critical acclaim, with the former winning the festival's Best Director prize while the latter won the coveted Golden Lion. Both films have something in common, though; they each starred acclaimed character actor Alessandro Nivola. Revered for many years for his performances in film, television, and theater, the 52-year-old actor starred opposite Golden Globe winner Adrien Brody in Corbet's film as Attila, a Hungarian Jew who has assimilated into America and is helping Lazslo get settled in with his custom furniture business. In Almodovar's film, he plays a policeman who confronts Ingrid (played by Julianne Moore) about the apparent suicide of her friend Martha (played by Tilda Swinton). Nivola was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his work on both films, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out "The Brutalist," which is now playing in theaters from A24 and will expand nationwide on January 24th, while "The Room Next Door" is now playing nationwide from Sony Pictures Classics. Both films are up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Agnès Varda's docufiction about a troubled – and troubling – young homeless woman roaming the French countryside was singular when released in 1985, but it anticipated a slew of 21st century films depicting women marginalized by their rejection of traditional roles. The film does not, however, cater to contemporary political morality. She is neither a hero nor a villain, nor are the people who try to help or exploit her. Is this unjudgmental approach simply un-Hollywood, or is it in some way old fashioned, a relic of a less fully politicized time? How will our young panelists understand this portrayal of a disempowered victim that refuses to valorize her victimhood? Listeners unfamiliar with the stellar career of Agnès Varda, perhaps the greatest female director to date, shouldn't miss this chance to discover this extraordinary film.

Lucia Pietroiusti is the Head of Ecologies at the Serpentine in London and the first guest of Season Two of the Ecosystem Member podcast. If you aren't familiar with the Serpentine, it is a contemporary art gallery in Kensington Gardens. And better yet, admission to the galleries is free for all visitors making it incredibly accessible. Lucia is one of the driving forces behind the Serpentine's work as a curator, programmer and organizational strategist. As the Head of Ecologies, she works at the intersection of art, ecology and systems. Her role is to embed environmental responsibility throughout the Serpentine's infrastructure, operations, networks and programming. She also happened to create this role out of the General Ecology project we discuss in the episode that she started in 2018. However, her influence stretches beyond the bounds of Kensington Gardens. She was the curator for the Golden Lion-winning opera performance ‘Sun & Sea' at the Lithuanian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale and the ‘Songs for the Changing Seasons' exhibition at Vienna's first Climate Biennale earlier this year.

Sonia Boyce talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Boyce, a recent Golden Lion-winner at the Venice Biennale, was born in London in 1962 and first made an impact through her figurative drawings before shifting to what she calls a “multi-sensory” practice. Over the past three decades, her art has been a social experience, as she has worked with individual and collective collaborators to create performances, video pieces and installations. They reflect on a wealth of subjects, from personal and collective memory, to sound as a conveyor of subjective feeling and cultural experience, to the dynamics and meanings of space and environment, and to questions of value and power and who bestows and holds them. Sonia's art is about people but also formed by them—people are her raw materials. She talks about her interest in power and authorship and the shift in her career, away from drawing to relational and social practice. She discusses the transformative experiences of seeing work by the Fenix feminist art collective, Frida Kahlo and visiting the 1981 exhibition in Wolverhampton, Black Art an' Done. She reflects on William Morris's wallpaper designs and the different ways in which they have manifested in her work. She discusses the connections between Dada and jazz music, and the influence of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, and much more. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate, “What is art for?”Sonia Boyce: An Awkward Relation and Lygia Clark: The I and the You, Whitechapel Gallery, London, until 12 January; Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way, Toronto Biennial, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, until 6 April 2025; AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS: Works from the Enea Righi Collection, MUSEION—Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzano-Bozen, Italy, until 2 March 2025.Listen to Sonia Boyce talking about Feeling Her Way, in the episode of The Week in Art podcast from 22 April 2022, Venice Biennale Special.

On today's NYFF62 podcast, we present the press conference from this year's Centerpiece selection The Room Next Door, featuring director Pedro Almodóvar and cast members Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, and John Turturro, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Pedro Almodóvar's finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, a hushed and humane portrayal of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, graced with incandescent performances by Moore and Swinton that tap the very essence of being. Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, Almodóvar has exquisitely reframed his career-long fascination with the lives of women for an American vernacular, capturing Manhattan and upstate New York with enraptured affection. Tickets to the New York Film Festival are moving fast! Get up-to-date information on all available tickets on a daily basis by visiting filmlinc.org/tix.

Sigourney Weaver, recepient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Venice. The post Sigourney Weaver, Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement appeared first on Fred Film Radio.
Artist and academic Sequoia Danielle Barnes redresses the ugly side of kitsch and ‘cute' toy cultures, telling histories of trickster rabbits from Peter Rabbit to Bugs Bunny, appropriated from Black Southern American folklore from the 16th century to now. With ceramics, fabrics, and super sticky slugs, Sequoia Danielle Barnes' new installation is an Afro-surrealist retelling of Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, a folktale developed by her enslaved ancestors after being ripped from Africa and displaced in Alabama, in the United States - the place she grew up before pursuing her practice in ‘transatlantic' institutions. Here, stories about figures like Uncle Remus, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jemima, often first told as a means of action guidance for outsmarting slavemasters, were mainstreamed into 20th century pop art and cultures. Sequoia's exhibition takes its title from the 1946 film, Song of the South, a nostalgic representation of the antebellum, pre-Confederate South, revealing how ‘cuteness' masks anti-Black racist tropes and propaganda. We discuss how popular consumption of Western/European films, TV adverts, and commercials can perpetuate forms of oppression and marginalisation, including racialisation, infantilism, violence, and the cannibalisation of enslaved peoples. Sequoia tells of her interest in ‘Tellytubby lore', how children's cartoons and animations can sustain critical traditions of surrealism, and why younger people more readily engage with her work than adults. From her creepy and uncanny collectibles, we discuss why major institutions protect and preserve golliwogs, golly, and ‘piccaninny' dolls, and Sequoia's ‘Black radical art practice' in spaces like CCA Glasgow, Fruitmarket, and the National Museum of Scotland. Sequoia shares her subversive influences from the Black diaspora, including Faith Ringgold, Betye Saars, Robert Colescott,and Eddie Chambers. With Theaster Gates, Patrick Kelly, Joe Casely-Hayford,, we explore Afrofuturism, and find entanglements in their own practice, between works with textiles, fashion, and pottery. Beneath the dark humour and sweet surfaces of their works, Sequoia speaks of connections between contemporary consumption and capitalism, and historic sugar cane plantations. exposing how legacies of colonialism, slavery, and global trade still shape society today.

Maybe not quite celtic, but a couple of the early bands had that flavor. And I'll put on some Great Big Sea—though sadly they aren't around anymore, Alan Doyle is still out there making music. And when I really feel the need to get up and dance, I thrown on some Natalie MacMaster. And then when I'm tired and need to get contemplative over a green beer (at least metaphorically green) I'll put on some Loreena McKennitt.

For the 27th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Eva Respini, author of “Simone Leigh,” published by DelMonico Books in association with the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. Eva Respini's book offers a deep dive into the groundbreaking work of contemporary artist Simone Leigh, whose multidimensional artistry challenges conventions, and sparks meaningful conversations about race, gender, and identity. Through Eva's expertise, we'll uncover the complexities of Leigh's art, and gain a deeper understanding of its cultural significance. Eva served as the Curator and Co-Commissioner for the 2022 US Pavilion's presentation of Simone Leigh at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It marked the first time a Black woman represented the United States at the Biennale, and Leigh won the 2022 Golden Lion for her groundbreaking work. Eva organized the highly successful mid-career survey of Simone Leigh's works, which opened at the ICA/Boston in April 2023 and will tour across the United States through 2025. In addition to the insightful writing from multiple perspectives of 22 contributing scholars and collaborators of Leigh's, the book is beautifully illustrated with plates that feature Leigh's critically acclaimed work for the Biennale and works made throughout her career. See an album of Simone Leigh's Biennale exhibition. Eva Respini is Deputy Director and Director of Curatorial Programs at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Between 2015-2023, Respini was Deputy Director and Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (ICA/Boston). Prior to her tenure at the ICA/Boston, she served as Curator at the Museum of Modern Art for more than a decade in the department of photography. She currently teaches a seminar on curatorial practice at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. Other universities where she has taught and lectured include School of Visual Arts, Columbia University; Yale University's School of Art; and the School of Visual Arts, New York. Eva has published numerous books and catalogues and her writing appears in museum publications and periodicals. She received a BA and MA in art history from Columbia University and was a 2014 fellow at the Center for Curatorial Leadership. "Reading the Art World" is a live interview and podcast series with leading art world authors hosted by art advisor Megan Fox Kelly. The conversations explore timely subjects in the world of art, design, architecture, artists and the art market, and are an opportunity to engage further with the minds behind these insightful new publications. Megan Fox Kelly is an art advisor and past President of the Association of Professional Art Advisors who works with collectors, estates and foundations.For more information, visit meganfoxkelly.com, hear our past interviews, and subscribe at the bottom of our Of Interest page for new posts.Follow us on Instagram: @meganfoxkellyPurchase “Simone Leigh” at Delmonico Books.Music composed by Bob Golden
Filmmaker Saodat Ismailova traces stories of spirituality, dissent, and environmental extraction around the Aral Sea from post-Soviet Uzbekistan and Central Asia, via Melted into the Sun (2024). Uzbekistan is at the crossroads of diverse material histories and migratory legacies. Part of ‘Central Asia' - first defined by the Prussian geographer Alexander von Humboldt in 1843 - the region was governed by the Uzbek branch of the Soviet Russian Communist Party in the 20th century, until the Union's collapse in 1990. As one of the first generations of post-Soviet Central Asian contemporary artists, Saodat Ismailova often draws on shared traditions and transnational connections with groups including Uyghurs in China, to Arabic communities further west, distinguishing between migration and displacement in her practice. From her documentary, Aral: Fishing in an Invisible Sea (2004), to her more recent works on Chillpiq, we discuss the cultural importance of water in this double landlocked country; the Aral Sea, now the Aral Desert, was one of the world's largest lakes until the Soviet government steadily diverted its water sources, reducing it to 10% of its original size. Her most recent film focusses on Al-Muqanna (The Veiled One), an 8th century textile dyer and alchemist who became a ‘protosocialist' political revolutionary in now-Iran. We consider the syncretism of religions and faiths including Islam, Zoroastrianism and Mazdakism, Buddhism, and Christianity, as evidence of cosmopolitan coexistence within empires, and how this figure was appropriated in 20th century communist propaganda. Saodat shares her interests in oriental classical music, and improvision within maqam and raga, as living archives ‘deadened' by notation, alongside archaeology, and the number 40. We discuss her collaborative practice with Davra Collective at documenta in Kassel. From her first residency with Fabrica, to her participation in the Venice Biennale in 2013 as part of the Central Asian Pavilion, Saodat explains her long connection with Italy, ‘the start of her life in Europe'. Saodat Ismailova's film, Melted into the Sun (2024), is on view as part of Nebula, produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film, which runs at Complesso dell'Ospedaletto in Venice until 24 November 2024. Part of EMPIRE LINES at Venice, a series of episodes leading to Foreigners Everywhere (Stranieri Ovunque), the 60th Venice Biennale or International Art Exhibition in Italy, in April 2024. For more about Zoroastrianism, listen to Dr. Talinn Grigor on Persian Revival architecture, and Parsi patronage in India, via the Vatcha Adaran Zoroastrian Fire Temple in Bombay (Mumbai) (1881). On music, memory, and history, hear Barbican curator Eleanor Nairne on Julianknxx's Chorus in Rememory of Flight (2023), and Professor Paul Gilroy, on The Black Atlantic (1993-Now). Find out more about textiles and embroidery across Central and South West Asia and North Africa with Rachel Dedman, curator of Material Power: Palestinian Embroidery at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge and the Whitworth in Manchester: On an UNRWA Dress from Ramallah, Palestine (1930s), on EMPIRE LINES. On the exhibition more widely, in this gowithYamo article. Hear Nil Yalter, awardee of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale in 2024, and fellow Paris-practicing artist, at Ab Anbar during London Gallery Weekend 2023, with Exile is a Hard Job (1974-Now). WITH: Saodat Ismailova, filmmaker and artist who lives and works between Tashkent, Uzbekistan and Paris, France. She is the initiator of the educational program CCA Lab, Tashkent Film Encounters, and the DAVRA research group, which is dedicated to studying, documenting, and disseminating Central Asian culture and knowledge.

Artist Zineb Sedira records cultural and postcolonial connections between Algeria, France, Italy, and the UK from the 1960s, featuring films, rugs, and radical magazines from her personal archive. Dreams Have No Titles (2022) is Zineb Sedira's love letter to cinema, the classic films of her childhood in Paris, coming of age in Brixton in London, and ‘return' to Algiers - three cities between which the artist lives and practices. Born in 1963, the year after Algeria achieved independence from French colonial rule, her and her family's diasporic story is central to her practice. Zineb recalls her first encounters with 'militant cinema', and international co-productions like the Golden Lion-winning The Battle of Algiers (1966). She shares her decision to represent France at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, controversial reactions from French media and society, and solidarity from her radical contemporaries and women, like Françoise Vergès, Sonia Boyce, Latifa Echakhch, Alberta Whittle, and Gilane Tawadros. We discuss the legacy of her work in the selection of Julien Creuzet, the first person of Caribbean descent and from the French overseas territories to represent France at the Venice Biennale in 2024. Zineb shares how personal histories contribute to collective memory, subverting ideas of ‘collection', and using museum and gallery spaces to make archives more accessible. With orientalist tapestries and textiles - her ‘feminist awakening' - we discuss how culture can both perpetuate political and colonial hierarchies, and provide the possibility to ‘decolonise oneself'. From her academic research in the diaspora, Zineb suggests how she carried much knowledge in her body as lived experience, detailing her interest in oral histories (and podcasts!), as living archives. With Nina Simone, Miriam Makebe, and Archie Shepp, performers at the Pan-African Festival in Algiers (1969), she shows her love of jazz and rock music, played with her community of squatters and fellow students from Central Saint Martins. Finally, we see how the meaning of her participatory works change as they travel and migrate between global audiences, and institutions and funding in Algiers today, via aria, her research residency for artists. Zineb Sedira: Dreams Have No Titles runs at the Whitechapel Gallery in London until 12 May 2024. A free Artist and Curator Talk (with some of Zineb's ‘tribe') takes place at the Gallery on 11 April 2024. and the film version of the work shows at Tate Britain in London until September 2024. Zineb Sedira: Let's Go On Singing! ran at the Goodman Gallery in London until 16 March 2024. Part of EMPIRE LINES at Venice, a series of episodes leading to Foreigners Everywhere (Stranieri Ovunque), the 60th Venice Biennale or International Art Exhibition in Italy, in April 2024.

Translating life to art and art to life is the subject of my discussion with Venezuelan director, screenwriter, film producer, and Golden Lion recipient Lorenzo Vigas.There's just something about Lorenzo's deeply moving films -- he refers to his three feature films as a trilogy about fathers and sons -- that makes a viewer think more deeply about...well, more deeply about everything. And the same thoughtfulness you see in his films is on full display here: his thoughts on film school and film festivals; tackling hard issues in service of art; the state of film in Latin America; and what's next for this extraordinarily talented filmmaker.Lorenzo's Indie Film Highlight: Gustavo Rondon Cordova (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2271584/)Links:Lorenzo Vigas' IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1729237/)Watch THE BOX on Mubi (https://mubi.com/en/us/films/the-box-2021-lorenzo-vigas)Five Films That Inspired My Career (https://aframe.oscars.org/what-to-watch/post/lorenzo-vigas-five-films-that-inspired-my-career)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Ava DuVernay, "Origin," starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman & Blair Underwood. Making its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion, the dramatic adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson's life and novel "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" was one of 2023's most unique and powerful films. What did we think of it? Should it have been made into a documentary instead of a feature film? How do we feel about its awards season campaign? Tune in as we discuss these points, the writing, direction, acting, its Oscar potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Poor Things" had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion and received some of the best reviews for a Yorgos Lanthimos film. It's a technical marvel in almost every regard, and throughout this entire awards season, we've conducted several interviews with the team involved in the making of the Golden Globe award-winning film from nearly all aspects of production. First up, we have my interview with the film's producers Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe, then we have my interview with Costume Designer Holly Waddington, then we have Dan Bayer's interview with Production Designers James Price and Shona Heath, and then we go back to me with Hair, Makeup & Prosthetics Designer Nadia Stacey, then we head back to Bayer and his interview with the film's Composer Jerskin Fendrix and we finally conclude with my conversation with Cinematographer Robbie Ryan. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the film.

"Maestro" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It is the second film to be directed by Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper following "A Star Is Born" and features him and Academy Award-nominee Carey Mulligan transforming into Leonard Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre. The two were kind enough to spend a little bit of time talking with me about their work on the film, and I also got the chance to speak with the film's Costume Designer, Academy Award-winner Mark Bridges. Dan Bayer also interviewed Academy Award-winning Supervising Sound Editor Richard King. All three interviews can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now streaming on Netflix and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Costume Design and Best Sound.

"Number 13" is a short story by the British author, M. R. James, from his 1904 anthology, Ghost-Stories of an Antiquary. Something in room 13 is keeping the guests at The Golden Lion awake at night…
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Tom O'Brien. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos, "Poor Things," starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott & Jerrod Carmichael.

事件简述: 当地时间9月9日,第80届“威尼斯双年展国际电影艺术展”(Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia)正式闭幕,希腊男导演欧格斯·兰斯莫斯(Yorgos Lanthimos)执导的英语片《可怜的东西》(Poor Things)拿下金狮奖;滨口龙介凭《邪恶不存在》(悪は存在しない)获评审团大奖,彼得·萨斯加德(Peter Sarsgaard)与卡莉·史派妮(Cailee Spaeny)凭《记忆》(Memory)与《普瑞希拉》(Priscilla)分获帝后。 以下是本届影展的其它“文化事件”(详情见音频): 9月2日,在与威尼斯影展同步进行的一项叫做“Filming Italy Best Movie Award”的外围奖项颁发前后,一位名为加布里埃尔·格瓦拉(Gabriel Guevara)的西班牙籍演员因涉嫌强奸,被威尼斯警方逮捕。 随后,威尼斯官方发布声明,明确表明该演员参加的活动与威尼斯官方毫无关系。而中国电影《封神》几天前领取的所谓“最佳艺术贡献奖”正是来自该演员所获得的同一奖项(详见下图),部分中国媒体予以高调报道。 9月2日下午,香港演员梁朝伟获颁“威尼斯电影节终身成就金狮奖”。两届金狮奖得主,与其合作《色,戒》的导演李安亲临现场为其颁奖,随后现场放映了带有“威尼斯80年”回顾性质的纪录片(La parte del Leone: una storia della Mostra)。 9月2日傍晚,众多伊朗女性随《柔道场》(Tatami)剧组在官方红毯仪式上进行了“解放伊朗女性”的表达。 同时也有部分人士举出释放男导演赛义德·鲁斯塔伊的标语——该导演因在2022年私自参加戛纳电影节且入围主竞赛单元(《金币灰黄》),在今年8月被伊朗当局拘留并判缓刑五年。 9月4日,或成为伍迪·艾伦(Woody Allen)“最后一部电影”的法语片《幸运一击》(Coup De Chance)举行首映式,87岁高龄的导演艾伦亲临现场。而在当晚,一群活动人士出现在了该片的红毯仪式周围,呼喊口号反对所谓“强奸文化”。而在威尼斯进行期间,在其官方设立的“列侬墙”上,对于威尼斯影展主席巴贝拉(Alberto Barbera)挑选伍迪·艾伦、波兰斯基(Roman Polanski)和吕克·贝松(Luc Besson)的电影入围本届威尼斯的抗议标语也层出不穷。 其中一副针对波兰斯基新作《瑞士华庭》(The Palace)的标语(金狮奖会颁给强奸犯吗?)被广泛报道。但实际上波兰斯基的新作并未入围此次主竞赛,从来也没有角逐金狮奖的可能性。 9月4日,《幸运一击》首映当天,威尼斯主席巴贝拉再度明确了自己支持伍迪·艾伦等导演的态度,他称伍迪·艾伦“早已洗清罪名”、“针对伍迪·艾伦的敌意让人无法理解”,巴贝拉同时也对烂番茄网站给予波兰斯基新片“打0分”的行为嗤之以鼻——“(这种行为)让我觉得有些低劣”。 9月6日上午,威尼斯官方组织了“乌克兰日”(Ukrainian Day)活动,分别举行了题为《战争期间的乌克兰电影业》和《与乌克兰拍摄:支持与合作》的两场论坛活动,乌克兰相关行业代表介绍了乌克兰遭遇入侵以来的电影业现状。 同时本届影展也有多部乌克兰电影进入各类单元,包括了入围“地平线拓展”单元的《永远-永远》(Назавжди-Назавжди)、入围“经典修复”单元的《被遗忘的祖先的阴影》(Тіні забутих предків)、入围“威尼斯日”单元的《恐光症》(Photophobia)和入围“VR非竞赛展映”单元的。
What's That Smell? An AI Nose KnowsIf you want to predict the color of something, you can talk about wavelengths of light. Light with a wavelength of around 460 nanometers is going to look blue. If you want to predict what something sounds like, frequencies can be a guide—a frequency of around 261 Hertz should sound like the musical note middle C.Predicting smells is more difficult. While we know that many sulfur-containing molecules tend to fall somewhere in the ‘rotten egg' or ‘skunky' category, predicting other aromas based solely on a chemical structure is hard. Molecules with a similar chemical structure may smell quite different—while two molecules with very different chemical structures can smell the same.This week in the journal Science, researchers describe developing an AI model that, given the structure of a chemical compound, can roughly predict where it's likely to fall on a map of odors. For example, is it grassy? Or more meaty? Perhaps floral?Dr. Joel Mainland is one of the authors of that report. He's a member of the Monell Chemical Senses Center and an adjunct associate professor in the department of neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Mainland joins Ira to talk about the mystery of odor, and his hope that odor maps like the one developed by the AI model could bring scientists closer to identifying the odor equivalent of the three primary colors—base notes that could be mixed and blended to create all other smells. As Temperatures Rise, Farmworkers Are UnprotectedJuan Peña, 28, has worked in the fields since childhood, often exposing his body to extreme heat like the wave that hit the Midwest last week.The heat can cause such deep pain in his whole body that he just wants to lie down, he said, as his body tells him he can't take another day on the job. On those days, his only motivation to get out of bed is to earn dollars to send to his 10-month-old baby in Mexico.To read more, visit sciencefriday.com. The Golden Lion Tamarin Rebounds From The Brink Of ExtinctionThe Golden Lion Tamarin is a small, charismatic monkey with a mane of red fur that's a local celebrity in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. This pint-sized primate was on the brink of extinction back in the 1970s, with only about 200 left in the wild.After decades of concentrated conservation efforts, an estimated 4,800 golden lion tamarins are now living in the wild. The multi-pronged effort involved reconnecting parts of the forest that had disappeared due to deforestation, vaccinating monkeys against yellow fever, and reintroducing zoo-bred primates to the wild.Ira speaks to Carlos Ruiz Miranda, associate professor of conservation and behavior at Northern Rio de Janeiro State University in Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil. Dr. Ruiz Miranda has worked on restoring golden lion tamarin populations for decades, and was involved in every facet of this effort. Unraveling the Mysteries Of The Y ChromosomeLast week, we briefly mentioned the sequencing and analysis of the human Y chromosome, which was recently reported in the journal Nature. It's an important achievement—the small Y chromosome is filled with repeated segments of genetic code that make reconstructing the full sequence difficult. Think of trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle—the unique parts of the picture are easy, but areas with repeated colors, like sky or waves, are more challenging. In addition to the complete sequence of one individual's Y, other researchers compared the Y chromosomes of 43 different individuals—and found that the structure of the chromosome can vary widely from one person to another.The Y chromosome plays a key role in sex determination and sperm production, making it of interest to fertility researchers. It's also linked to some diseases and health conditions.Adam Phillippy, a senior investigator in the computational and statistical genomics branch of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health, and Kateryna Makova, a professor of biology at Penn State University, join Ira to talk about the challenges of sequencing the Y chromosome, and what doing so might mean for medical research.
