Director Chinoye Chukwu has taken to Instagram to share her thoughts on the Oscar snub of her film “Till”.

“Till” depicts the historically significant story of 14-year-old Black American Emmet Till’s brutal murder in 1955 and his mother Mamie Till Mobley’s fight for justice.

Despite receiving SAG and BAFTA nominations for lead actress Danielle Deadwyler, the film did not receive any nominations in any category at the 95th Academy Awards.

Chukwu shared a photo of her smiling with civil rights activist Myrlie Evers-Williams, who actress Jayme Lawson portrays in “Till”.

“We live in a world and work in industries that are so aggressively committed to upholding whiteness and perpetuating an unabashed misogyny towards Black women,” Chukwu wrote alongside the photo.

Jessie Kahnweiler, a 32-year-old Los Angeles-based filmmaker, has never shied away from taking on sensitive and controversial topics, and her latest project is no exception: freezing her eggs.

In a recent essay, she openly discusses everything from the pressure she felt of having to “find the one” and the experiences that led to her decision to go through with the procedure.

“The decision to freeze or not to freeze is going to happen gradually,” she wrote. “Don’t stress. Live your life but pay attention.”

The man responsible for some of YouTube’s best educational content is planning to take a deep dive into the history of our planet. Hank Green will co-host Eons, an upcoming series about natural history born out of a partnership between Green’s production company Complexly and PBS Digital Studios.

In Eons, Green, paleontologist Kallie Moore, and science writer Blake de Pastino will track the development of life from its origins four billion years ago to the Ice Age. Through a series of vignettes, the three co-hosts will discuss a diverse array of organisms, ranging from dinosaurs to saber-toothed tigers to humans. One goal of the show, as Green noted in a press release, is to get viewers excited about paleontology.

Eons will be the third partnership between Complexly and PBS Digital Studios. The two companies previously teamed up to create several new “courses” for Green’s Crash Course channel,...

Through Crash Course, curious individuals can learn about everything from physics to video game history to philosophy. Now, thanks to the channel’s latest set of courses, those viewers can untangle the magic of cinema. Crash Course has unveiled three film series: A history lesson hosted by Craig Benzine, a production course hosted by Michael Aranda, and an introduction to criticism led by Lily Gladstone.

All three of the new courses will be produced by PBS Digital Studios, which teamed up with Crash Course co-founders Hank and John Green back in 2014. Benzine, who is becoming quite the regular on Crash Course, will examine how the film industry was shaped by the politics of nations like Germany and Russia; Aranda, who regularly collaborates with the Green brothers, will share the knowledge he has picked up in his experience on film sets; Gladstone, an actress, will marry specific films and filmmakers to...

As the Wii U makes way for Nintendo Switch, we celebrate the system's underappreciated exclusive games...

The news wasn't necessarily a surprise, but it was a little sad nevertheless: on the 19th January 2017, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced that The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild would be the last first-party game for the Wii U.

From a software standpoint, this brings the struggling console's life to a quiet end, less than six years after its launch in November 2012. The Wii U, it seemed, had the odds stacked against it from the very beginning; with that awkward-sounding name and chunky-looking controller, it lacked the immediately understandable simplicity of its predecessor.

The system offered the HD resolution sorely missing from the Wii, yet the much more powerful PlayStation 4 and Xbox...

Hank and John Green’s YouTube empire includes channels like Vlogbrothers, Crash Course, and SciShow, and the latest addition to that network will share tips for viewers who want to stay in shape. John Green and his friend Chris will co-host 100 Days, on which they will share the steps of what they have termed a “healthy midlife crisis.”

John Green announced 100 Days in a recent video on the Vlogbrothers channel he co-hosts with Hank. He also discussed the new project on Vlogbrothers’ new community tab, making him one of the first prominent users of YouTube’s latest creator-focused feature.

A trip to the newly-minted 100 Days channel provides more details. In an introductory video, Green notes that he and Chris will educate themselves alongside viewers, with nutritionists and trainers providing the insights of their respective trades. True to his nature as a curious, scientific person, Green doesn’t plan to focus solely on numbers,...

Peter Berg likes stories about regular people — the kind of people who work on oil rigs and and don’t necessarily relate to on-screen smoothies like James Bond — and for the self-professed “second half” of his directing career, including films like “Lone Survivor,” Berg has started focusing on just that. For his latest film, the fact-based “Deepwater Horizon,” Berg turns his attention to the 2010 oil rig disaster on the eponymous Louisiana drilling platform, with thrilling — and often heart-wrenching — results.

The film follows the rig on its last viable day, as the so-called “bad well” starts collapsing after a series of terrible decisions, systematic breakdowns and just plain old pressure slowly render it not only inoperable, but hugely dangerous. Berg’s frequent star Mark Wahlberg stars as electrician Mike Williams, who leads the film alongside Kurt Russell as the rig’s head honcho, Gina Rodriquez as a whipsmart member of the...

Mark Wahlberg surprised an audience at the Toronto International Film Festival Tuesday by unveiling the trailer for his upcoming film “Patriots Day,” a movie about the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013 that hits theaters on December 21. In the movie, Wahlberg plays Boston Police Department Sergeant Tommy Saunders, a composite character who is on duty during the day of the tragedy. Wahlberg also serves as a producer on the film, which carried a deep personal significance for the Massachusetts native.

“I thought, if the right people aren’t in control of this thing, it won’t be handled the way it needs to be handled — with sensitivity and compassion — so I said I wanted to be a part of it,” Wahlberg said during the on-stage conversation at Tiff.

The project did face some public...

Can a computer be capable of original thought and of creating something on its own? Probably not, but scientists can collaborate with machines to get a better understanding of what humans like and what scares them.

20th Century Fox’s new film, “Morgan,” is an A.I. horror thriller about an artificially created humanoid who’s existence is threatened after she attacks one of her creators. The studio teamed up with scientists at Ibm Research to create the first-ever cognitive movie trailer, and learn what keeps audiences at the edge of their seats.

Using experimental Watson APIs and machine learning techniques, the Ibm Research system analyzed hundred of horror and thriller movie trailers. Then the artificial intelligence system watched “Morgan” and suggested the top 10 best moments for a trailer to be edited together by an Ibm filmmaker.

Women suffrage movie 'Mothers of Men': Will women's right to vote lead to the destruction of The American Family? Directed by and featuring the now all but forgotten Willis Robards, Mothers of Men – about women suffrage and political power – was a fast-paced, 64-minute buried treasure screened at the 2016 San Francisco Silent Film Festival, held June 2–5. I thoroughly enjoyed being taken back in time by this 1917 socially conscious drama that dares to ask the question: “What will happen to the nation if all women have the right to vote?” One newspaper editor insists that women suffrage would mean the destruction of The Family. Women, after all, just did not have the capacity for making objective decisions due to their emotional composition. It...

Between May 2nd and May 13th, the College Board hosts the Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which serve as the culmination of year-long AP courses that offer benefits to students once they enter college. Acing these tests tends to require a lot of cramming, and for many students, YouTube is proving to a capable study aid. Specifically, Hank and John Green’s Crash Course channel saw a 41% increase in watch time in the period surrounding AP exams.

The 41% jump is based on Crash Course’s total watch time during the month-long period between April 13, 2016 and May 13, 2016, compared to the previous 31-day period. A visual demonstration of that increase can be seen in this chart, which a representative for Hank Green shared with Tubefilter:

Hank and John Green, collectively known as the Vlogbrothers, have unveiled a new subject for their “students.” The two creators have once again teamed up with PBS Digital Studios to produce new episodes of the educational web series Crash Course. This time, the topic in question is physics, and the host is British engineer Dr. Shini Somara.

Dr. Somara, a self-proclaimed “Stem advocate” who has hosted programs for the BBC, Al Jazeera America, and several other networks, uses an energetic delivery to add some excitement to her area of expertise. In her first Crash Course episode, she spends ten minutes discussing fundamental physics concepts like velocity and acceleration.

"We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Shini Somara to the PBS Digital Studios family,” said Don Wilcox, VP of Digital Marketing and Services at PBS, in a press release. “Dr. Somara’s passion and experience make her a wonderful addition to our great...

Leaderboards have been an integral part of gaming since its inception, and it comes as no surprise — even decades later — that developers are still making games that encourage friendly, score-based contests. Take Action Henk, for example, as Dutch developer RageSquid has created an experience that — like Joe Danger and Doritos Crash Course before it — tests our skills at completing crazy obstacle courses in record times.

Outside of its basic set-up, there’s little to Action Henk. You run, jump, slide and swing your way through a multitude of devious courses, all while attempting to set the best time possible. It can be a real rush, and it’s designed to promote replayability, but the truth of the matter is that the game’s fun factor is fleeting and frustration sets in quickly. It’s unfortunate, for sure, but it’s simply how it is with this release.

On a channel called The Good Stuff, Craig “Wheezy Waiter” Benzine discusses educational topics across themed playlists. For his latest exploration, Benzine is working in tandem with a new show that plans to bring history to life.

The first episode of Time Capsule will hit YouTube on January 15th, the same day as Mercy Street’s PBS premiere. The plan is to release seven additional episodes, with a new one arriving each Friday. The series will talk about Civil War topics, such as news media, government surveillance, and medical technology, and will explain how those topics have evolved across the past 150 years.

Balancing decorated experience with a promising up-and-comer, production company Parts & Labor have formally announced that Sir Ben Kingsley and The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson have signed on to topline Backstabbing for Beginners, which is to be directed by Danish filmmaker Per Fly Plejdrup.

Billed as a political thriller, the Canadian-Danish project will lift inspiration from Michael Soussan’s memoir, Backstabbing for Beginners: My Crash Course in International Diplomacy, a timely and acclaimed dissection of political themes and the general global issues facing a post-Iraq United States. Assuming the role of Michael is Hutcherson, a wide-eyed idealist whose prayers are answered upon landing the job as program coordinator for the Un’s much-touted Oil for Food program.

But as Michael soon discovers, the tentacles of corruption permeate just about every facet of the Un’s strategy, and with power-mongering countries keeping close tabs on Iraq and its coveted oil reserves,...

The story centres on an idealistic man who exposes a conspiracy while working for a Un oil for food programme in Iraq.

Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy produce alongside Malene Blenkov and Nikolaj Vibe Michelsen and Daniel Bekerman.

PBS Digital Studios has added to its collection of programs with a combination of science and pop culture. The online video wing of the public television broadcaster has debuted Space Time, which frames crazy astrophysics topics in accessible, fun way.

Space Time is sort of a mélange of Pbsds' other hit shows. The first episode has PBS Idea Channel's fast-paced-yet-scholarly tone, Game/Show's analytical approach to gaming, and the same astronomical focus as the new Crash Course episodes PBS funded. Across six minutes, host Gabe Perez-Giz calculates the gravitational specifics of the planet from Super Mario Bros, providing both a physics lesson and a fresh take on an old favorite.

In November, PBS Digital Studios announced a deal with Vlogbrothers duo Hank and John Green for a pair of new entries to the Crash Course library. One of those series has now arrived, with blogger Phil Plait bringing his astronomy know-how to the Green brothers' educational hub.

As with other Crash Course videos, the first episode of the astronomy course combines Plait's narration with colorful animations that appeal to the YouTube audience. Plait, who runs the "Bad Astronomy" blog for Slate, begins the episode with a quick overview of his subject. "Over the course of this series," he states, "we'll explore planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, subatomic particles, and even the eventual fate of the universe itself."

Plait's astronomy lessons can be found on the Crash Course channel, which has more than 2.6 million subscribers. At the same time, the Pbsds deal will also bring the videos to educators. The digital...
