Avalanche play the Lightning on 3-game win streakMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The New York Jets will officially miss the playoffs once again.

Frida is not just a documentary about the art and life of Frida Kahlo. Director Carla Gutierrez wanted to use the tools of the format to capture Kahlo’s emotions. Those tools included narration, archival material, score and the creative touch of animating Kahlo’s paintings. “We wanted to make sure that the audience in a way kind of physically or literally dove into Frida’s heart and into her pool of emotions and was able to like swim in there with her,” Gutierrez said during a conversation for Deadline’s awards-season event Contenders Documentary . “Bringing her art into this filmic space, cinematic space, was really key to really hearing in a way her heart beat and her emotions go through her veins.” Gutierrez credits her animation department in Mexico City on their collaboration. As well, Katia Maguire led the production team to gather archival material in Mexico, including about the 1925 cable car accident Kahlo survived, to show viewers Mexico as the artist lived it. “You’re seeing her eyes looking at us in her paintings,” Gutierrez said. “We wanted the audience to also look at her universe through her eyes. A lot of those accidents, unfortunately, happened in Mexico City. So we found some really gruesome images of what happened after those accidents.” Kahlo speaks in the film too, via the voice of Fernanda Echevarria, in Spanish with English subtitles. The performance captures Kahlo’s personality in her native language. RELATED: 2024-25 Awards Season Calendar: Dates For Oscars, Spirits, Grammys, Tonys, Guilds & More “You can hear Frida swearing at people and making fun of people,” Gutierrez said. “You’re still hearing her original words, and I think that that carries so much emotional meaning, even if you need the subtitles to really understand what she’s saying.” Gutierrez said Kahlo was politically active and popular socially. Her paintings were where Kahlo expressed vulnerability, often as her own subject. “She painted herself and her heartaches, her daily questioning of her own feelings,” Gutierrez said. “For a lot of women, it’s really hard to sometimes talk about ourselves and even admit that what’s happening internally for us is also important to talk about and it’s also important to express.” RELATED: Contenders Documentary — Deadline’s Complete Coverage That goes for the painting that initially turned Gutierrez on to Kahlo’s work decades ago. The Peruvian filmmaker related to Kahlo’s complicated feelings about America. “It’s her standing between the United States and Mexico,” Gutierrez said. “She didn’t always feel welcome here and was missing her country a lot. And that’s exactly how I felt as a new immigrant. I was just learning how to speak English, but it was that moment of seeing my own self and my own emotions and my own most intimate feelings being reflected on a painting that I think makes art so powerful to people.” Check back Monday for the panel video.

The project, which will be established at an investment cost of around $300mn, marks a significant milestone in the development of Oman’s industrial sector, reinforcing the country’s position on the global stage for innovation and sustainable development. The groundbreaking ceremony was organised under the patronage of H E Sultan bin Salim al Habsi, Minister of Finance, and in the presence of H H Sayyid Faisal bin Turki al Said, Chairman of Universal Fine Chemicals, along with a distinguished gathering of officials. The project will occupy 240,000 sqm within Sohar Port, demonstrating a strong commitment to technological advancement and industrial growth. Utilising advanced technologies, the facility will produce polyacrylamide and related monomers essential for diverse industries, including energy, agriculture, wastewater management, and paper production. This initiative addresses global challenges in energy production and water management while driving innovation-led growth. The partnership between Universal Fine Chemicals and Sohar Port will also foster the development of downstream industries within the port’s petrochemical cluster. The plant is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2026. In a press statement, Emile Hoogsteden, CEO of Sohar Port, said, “This collaboration not only shapes trade dynamics but also propels Oman’s Vision 2040 forward. It positions Sohar Port as a leading global exporter of industrial chemicals and reflects our commitment to innovation-led growth and market expansion. By connecting businesses to the world and attracting substantial foreign direct investment from Singapore and China, we enhance the port’s appeal as a premier investment destination. Ultimately, we are diversifying the economy beyond traditional sectors while fostering sustainable development and creating career opportunities for the people of Oman.” Echo Liu, CEO of Universal Fine Chemicals, said, “By targeting diverse and expansive markets, our partnership will establish a strong foothold in key economic zones and amplify supply chains while attracting relevant industries. This innovative polymer manufacturing plant is poised to leverage Sohar Port and Freezone’s strategic geographic position and logistics capabilities to stimulate economic growth and enhance local trade networks. Furthermore, the project extends its reach beyond regional boundaries, focusing on markets in the GCC, North and South America, and the European Union.” Success of the project will be measured by achieving target production volumes of polyacrylamide and related monomers, implementing innovative manufacturing technologies, and expanding market share in key global regions. The initiative will also prioritise reducing environmental impact through advancements in water treatment, energy efficiency, and sustainable agricultural practices. This mission aligns with Sohar Port and Freezone’s strategic objectives, reinforcing their commitment to advancing global trade and economic development while positioning Oman as a hub for industrial innovation and sustainable progress.HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans made mistakes in every facet of the game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans to lose for the third time in four games. C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions, the defense gave up multiple big passing plays and Ka′imi Fairbairn missed a 28-yard field goal that would have tied it late in a 32-27 loss . “Just a disappointing loss for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We didn’t do anything well enough to win this game. Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives, too many negative plays.” Jimmie Ward had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. Danielle Hunter led the group with a season-high three sacks and Will Anderson Jr. added two in his return after missing two games with an ankle injury. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. But Ryans refused to blame the offense for the loss. “Our offense did plenty," Ryans said. "They gave us enough points. On defense, we have to be able to stop them.” Chig Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled 70 yards for a touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 91⁄2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. It was the last of three big passing plays the Titans had Sunday. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Calvin Ridley had a 63-yard reception that set up their next touchdown in the second. “It was just way too many negative plays,” Ryans said. “Defensively, unexplainable explosives for touchdowns. We didn’t play good across the board and that starts with me.” Despite this, the Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Fairbairn’s short field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. “The most frustrating part about it is out of all the bad things that happened, we still had a chance to finish the game,” Ryans said. “Everything that could go wrong, it went wrong. We still had a chance there to tie it up and finish the game, and we didn’t.” The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions Sunday give him five combined in the past three games. He now has more interceptions in 12 games this season (nine) than he had in 15 games as a rookie last season (five). “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well ... I’ve got to be harder on myself,” he said. “I’m not going to hold my head down. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
