SUMMARY:Future Experts: AI in arts and culture
DESCRIPTION:Some of the sessions in the Museum of the Future’s Future Experts talks series have been a tad over-technical\, but this one should hit the mark. Apparently it’s designed “to ignite intellectual discussions and foster collaborative exploration at the intersection of academia and artificial intelligence” by providing “a unique platform for academia to come together\, exchange ideas\, and share cutting-edge research on AI’s pivotal role in design and various other domains”. \nIn fact the speakers all look well qualified to deliver ideas and insights\, albeit in bite-sized chunks – they only get ten minutes apiece\, with a wrap-up Q&A to round out the hour. On the panel: \n→ Isaac Sullivan ZU CACE – writer and artists as well as Assistant Professor of Visual Arts with research interests including AI\, sound art\, and “the problematics of space and place \n→ Peter Chanthanakone ZU CACE – an award-winning director and producer specialising in 3D animated shorts\, director of a Bangkok animation studio\, and in-demand speaker at events like Siggraph Asia and several of the International Symposium of Electronic Arts dates \n→ Sara Niroobakhsh NYUAD – Iranian-born Canadian-based artist\, currently a visiting assistant art professor in the Interactive Media program at NYUAD\, who has spent the last decade experimenting with a variety of multimedia projects involving living tissue\, chemistry\, virtual reality\, and performance \n→ Dr Noor Yusoff University of Wollongong – an artist and educator (and an Assistant Professor for Media & Communication) whose research interests include the practice-based approach to understand intellectual identity\, social semiotics and visual cultures \n

SUMMARY:An Affair to Remember: dir Leo McCarey (1957)
DESCRIPTION:A poignant love story\, delivered impeccably (as always) by Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr who fall in love on an ocean liner headed for New York. Sadly they’re each engaged to someone else\, so they take the mature option and agree to meet six months later at the top of the Empire State Building if they still feel the same way about each other. An accident keeps her from their rendezvous\, he thinks he’s been stood up; but fate conspires to bring the lovers back together again for one of the most breathtakingly romantic endings in cinema history. Another good pick by Cinema Space … \n

SUMMARY:Mohit Takalkar: Hunkaro
DESCRIPTION:In modern society\, where listening to others is often replaced with the consumption of visual media\, Hunkaro – meaning ‘verbal affirmation’ in Marathi – is an important counterweight. This performance piece\, co-presented by Ishara Art Foundation\, invites the audience to practise the precious gift of attention through active\, participatory listening. \nIt interweaves three stories of human trials and tribulations\, tied together by the vital importance of hope and the impossibility of life without it. Using traditional singing and vocal techniques\, the stories are narrated in different styles\, languages and dialects by six professional actors. In the absence of musical instruments\, the performers emphasise the aesthetic value of language and the importance of the spoken word. \nThere is a second performance on 18 February. \nThis is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme that invites you “to encounter new experiences while exploring the heritage houses and art spaces of the city”. Perform Sharjah is curated by Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Performance and Senior Curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Past Lives: dir Celine Song (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Celine Song’s first feature has been nominated in two of this year’s Oscar categories (Best Motion Picture category and Best Original Screenplay – but criminally not Best Director). It’s the story of a modern romance; Na Young’s family emigrated from Seoul to Canada when she was 12\, she lost touch with her childhood sweetheart Hae Sung\, and a decade later they find each other again … \nPast Lives is a deeply romantic love story that also embraces destiny\, nostalgia and the immigrant experience. The result is a masterclass in how you have to make a story specific for it to be universal. It’s also (almost incidentally) a portrait of a very specific form of masculinity\, one that’s about decency\, selflessness\, understanding and fear – not something you see very often\, and perhaps a portrait that could only have been realised by a woman. \n“A divine cinematic experience; this is what we go to the movies for” says Cinema Space\, which has programmed this brilliantly realised film for us at no charge. \nVery highly recommended. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Holdovers: dir Alexander Payne (2023)
DESCRIPTION:A warm-hearted and thoughtful holiday story of three lonely\, shipwrecked people who find support in the most unlikely of places. A curmudgeonly teacher (Paul Giamatti) is forced to remain on campus at a New England prep school over Christmas to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go; as the days pass\, the grumpy prof forms an unexpected bond with smart-but-troubled student Angus (Dominic Sessa) and the school’s head cook Mary (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). A surprisingly engaging and really rather sweet comedy-drama with some superb acting \n  \n

SUMMARY:Xposure International Photography Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:The ninth edition of the region’s largest\, broadest and generally most impressive festival of photography. It is based around a the exhibitions\, solo and group\, but importantly incudes a very full programme of authoritative talks and useful workshops; portfolio reviews and focus group sessions; film screenings\, guided tours\, and book signings; an accompanying trade show; the Xposure Awards; the Xposure Market Area\, selling festival merchandise\, prints\, and accessories; and\, new for this year\, the Conservation Summit – “a dedicated platform for addressing critical environmental issues through the lens of visual storytelling” that brings together conservationists\, photographers\, and filmmakers to discuss and promote sustainability and environmental awareness. \nFor this year\, Xposure moves to the Aljada development near the airport and the universities. This would seem to be a much cooler\, more dynamic and creatively inspiring destination\, much more open and less form than the Expo Centre (and it helps that Ajjada’s developer ARADA is the festival’s official partner: “ARADA’s visionary development provides an elevated experience\, setting the stage for a transformative celebration of photography and the visual arts”\, says the press bumf). \n  \n  \n
