CARTOONISTS DEFEND OUR RIGHTS. WHO’S THERE FOR THEIRS?
DAMASCUS: Editorial cartoonist Ali Farzat is abducted by armed and hooded men believed to be of the mukhabarat – Syria’s security police. He is so severely beaten that his one eye is damaged and his fingers and hands are broken “as a warning” against his caricatures depicting President Bashar al-Assad and his regime as tyrants.
EQUATORIAL GUINEA: Long form cartoonist ‘Jamón y Queso’ is arrested by police on charges of counterfeiting, and spends almost six months in the notorious Black Beach Prison until all charges are dropped when the court learns that the accusations were ordered “from above” – most likely in response to cartoons he had drawn in criticism of the dictatorship.

AI Reimagines Gorgeous Architecture as Fabulous Footwear and Streetwear
Anonymous artist Str4ngeThing harnesses the power of AI technology to create surreal fashion inspired by the Renaissance. His collection of Renaissance architecture footwear is an incredible showcase for the design results that can be achieved by using image generators. The towering high heels, sturdy boots, and loafers all incorporate elements of Renaissance architecture; but, at the same time, they look good enough to wear.

If there is something that characterizes the times in which we have had to live, it is that the surrounding reality is increasingly problematic and complex. Worrying news, if not directly unfortunate, related to all parts of the planet, does not cease to reach us from the media. As for the close and immediate professional and personal environment, stress and concerns of various kinds are our daily bread.

“I have more than 500 dives, and I have been doing it for more than 10 years. Some of my most beautiful encounters in the water have been with sea lions, orcas, humpback whales, manatees, and manta rays...I love sports let's go in, I've been skydiving for over 10 years, skiing since I was 4, and a little canyoning...I studied singing and dubbing”, says Merche Llobera (Madrid, 1987), a woman whose descriptions of daring, hard-working, creative, reckless, captivating and a lover of life and animals, fall short to evaluate her.

Dennis Muren, Oscar-winning visual effects

- Mr. Muren, as a nine-time Oscar-winning visual effects artist and a pioneer in the industry, how would you define visual effects in filmmaking?
A very easy way to explain it is that it’s all the magic inherent to filmmaking. Visual effects get used when it's impossible to do something another way. The best way to do something is always if you can do it for real, with real actors on a real location, with a real crew, the real performances, whatever it is. But a lot of things are impossible — spaceships flying, dinosaurs — or too much danger, that's when effects come into it. Sometimes we’re adding a visual effect to a real scene in order to augment it, like a creature or a background or a character. But there’s been such change in the industry in the last 20 years that now entire movies can be shot on another planet, and that was never possible before.
