‘Rani Gaidinliu’ directed by Dimple Dugar and Deepak S. V., tells the story of a little-known Naga spiritual leader and freedom fighter. The film, created using revolutionary Unreal Engine technology, had its world premiere at the 55th IFFI CHRISTINE MACHADO | NT BUZZ At the age of 13, a young tribal girl from Manipur, Gaidinliu Pamei, joined the Heraka religious movement led by her cousin Haipou Jadonang. She later played an important role in leading a political revolt to drive the British Raj out of Manipur and was conferred the title of ‘Rani’ by Jawaharlal Nehru. However, despite receiving the Padma Bhushan in 1982, the story of this revolutionary woman has largely remained untold. This lack of recognition is what inspired filmmakers Dimple Dugar and Deepak S. V. to focus their film on her. “I came across her story through an article, and I felt her story should reach many more people because she was truly daring,” says Dugar. Although Gaidinliu was captured at a young age and served a long prison term, Dugar states that her courage inspired and brought hope to many. For their research, the filmmakers relied heavily on professor Niumai Ajailu, who had previously written about Gaidinliu and maintained a close relationship with her family. What makes this National Film Development Corporation Limited -produced film interesting is the cutting-edge digital technology used in its creation. “We’ve played a groundbreaking role by using metahuman Unreal Engine technology. The hyper-realistic characters are brought to life with motion capture and facial expression technology. It’s not 3D or AI; they are not robotic. The characters look 99% human,” explains Dugar. “The environment is also completely realistic, thanks to Unreal Engine technology. The film is entirely virtually produced.” Dugar, who has an background in VFX and animation, has worked on television and has also directed over 300 ad films and short films. Thus, combining these skills, she wanted to create something groundbreaking, resulting in ‘Rani Gaidinliu’. “We actually have a two-hour script for this film, but the technology is very expensive, so we condensed it into a 17-minute film. ,” she says, adding that she has two other films in the pipeline—one a psychological thriller and the other focusing on the Indian Army.To access this post, you must purchase a subscription.

Kirill Kaprizov gives the Minnesota Wild long-absent offensive star powerThe month of November has seen major announcements from Spotify in the podcasting space. In mid-November Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek spoke at the Spotify campus in Los Angeles about initiatives for uninterrupted video podcasts, audience-driven payments, and the new Spotify for Creators platform. “We can provide an experience for your audience that is superior to any platform. And by giving you, the creators, another path to monetisation beyond ads, we’re freeing you up to spend more time doing what you love: creating,” said Ek. Creators are taking notice of the changes. Why? Spotify is one of the largest platforms in the world for creators, with more than 640 million users and more than 250 million subscribers. Video consumption is rapidly growing on Spotify. To find out a little more about the changes on the platform, Mediaweek spoke with Prithi Dey, podcast lead AUNZ at Spotify. Dey explained the platform is no stranger to video content. “We’re seeing a lot of engagement with video content on Spotify. We’ve had video podcasts since 2019.” “For audio-only podcasters, they are being an opportunity to grow via Spotify.” There’s good reason to consider adding video to audio-only content. More than 250 million users have watched a video podcast on Spotify, and nearly two-thirds of podcast listeners say they prefer podcasts with video. There are now more than 300,000 video podcast shows on Spotify Dey: “Our focus is really trying to give creators from all different backgrounds the opportunity to grow their audience, monetise their content and give them the tools they need to be able to engage with their audiences.” With no option for audio creators to offer subscriptions to podcasts on Spotify, their monetisation options were restricted. Now with the ability to share Spotify subscription revenue with creators, it provides a new revenue stream. “The reason we’re doing that is to basically have a creative, better user experience for the audience because they get an uninterrupted experience of being able to view video podcasts on Spotify,” said Dey. “We’re able to do this because we are going to be paying the video podcast creators the premium revenue from subscribers. “ It will also help video creators, like traditional YouTubers for example, decide if they want to bring their video content to Spotify because they will essentially have three revenue streams that they could leverage from the 2nd of January, 2025.” Prithi Dey “Spotify for Podcasters has been rebranded to Spotify for Creators,” explained Dey. “It’s an easy-to-use platform and the whole purpose of rebranding is to create a holistic ecosystem that is easy to use. It’s free to use, and those thinking about bringing their content onto Spotify can easily upload content through Spotify for Creators. “They can easily look at their analytics, they can easily distribute to all other platforms, and our job really is to support them on that process. We’re having multiple with creators and partners from all different places about how they can actually bring their video podcast onto Spotify and how to use Spotify for Creators. “We try to make it as easy for them as possible. We also have a help section on Spotify for Creators, which is easy to use and comprehensive. I often direct a lot of new creators there and all their questions are usually answered, and it’s a really easy process if they have that content.” Spotify has reacted to what its audience wants, explained Dey. “In 2021, 43% of podcast listeners said they prefer video podcasts. In 2024, just three years later, that number’s grown to 64%. We are seeing increased interest from audiences coming to Spotify to watch video content. “ In Australia, the number of podcast listeners engaging with video podcasts has surged around 25% year over year. This is why we are investing in this space a lot more.” See also: Every Thursday in Mediaweek’s Podcast Week When asked about what rates for Spotify users, Dey said: “ I don’t think there’ll be any major surprises if I say true crime is always popular. Entertainment in general, sport and comedy, too are the categories that we always see doing well. Given that we’ve got quite a young audience, entertainment skews towards younger demographics and sport is always really popular. “Long-form content is where we are going and what we’re encouraging creators to upload. When I say long form, we’re thinking 15 to 30 minutes. That’s something the audience can be consuming when commuting or maybe walking.” There is another initiative aimed at helping grow podcast audiences – podcast clips. These are basically short-form teasers that can be uploaded by creators. The purpose of the clips is to drive awareness to the long-form content.” For podcasters who have “baked-in ads”, including host reads, nothing changes. “That will not be impacted,” advised Dey. “If the podcaster or the video creator has those baked in ads, mayb sponsorships that they set up and manage directly. Those host reads and sponsorships will stay in the podcast or the video podcast. “Even if you’re a premium user and you don’t get those third party dynamic ads, the host reads will still be there. The creator gets a hundred percent of that revenue.” While Dey listens and watched a wide range of content for her work, she has a few regulars she doesn’t miss. “I’m watching more content now than I did previously because it’s actually a really good user experience when I can watch and listen to a podcast. It is easy to toggle between the two. “I recently started watching a new show called Swag on the Beat . They’re comedians, with a massive social following. They just launched a couple of weeks ago. “Also Relatables with Jake and Ottie, that’s a video show as well. So those are two local shows. In terms of audio podcasts, I like to listen to a lot of current affairs and I listen to the news. “I listen to Guardian podcasts and The Daily Aus . I love a good documentary series too.

Should the executive have the power to pardon?

Aldermen are set to vote Friday on a 2025 city of Chicago budget featuring $234 million in assorted tax hikes to finance yet more spending growth that, if passed, would mean a huge 62% increase in city spending since 2019, the year before the pandemic took hold. A sizable group of aldermen has pushed for spending cuts and been rebuffed by Mayor Brandon Johnson, who refuses even to look for efficiencies in a bloated city government. Johnson’s primary concession over the last month-plus of budget battles he’s waged with balky aldermen has been to nix a planned continuation of the guaranteed basic income program begun by predecessor Mayor Lori Lightfoot, which provides $500 a month to Chicagoans who qualify based on need. What Johnson and his aldermanic supporters won’t do is consider cuts that would require meaningful sacrifice from the city’s workforce. When looking more broadly at Chicago’s budget travails compared with other large U.S. cities, it becomes abundantly clear that this city’s fiscal woes stem in large part from out-of-control spending. Consider New York, Los Angeles and Houston, the nation’s first, second and fourth largest cities. Since 2019, as Chicago has boosted spending by 62%, budgets in New York and LA have increased just 28% and 29%, respectively. Fast-growing Houston’s spending is up 40% over that period. Even the operating budget in Philadelphia — the sixth largest U.S. city and (like Chicago) a city without NYC’s financial muscle, LA’s glitz or Houston’s growth — has risen just 36%. Astute observers of local politics might wonder if Chicago’s pension crisis is at the root of this difference. The city’s pensions, underfunded at levels worse than any other major U.S. city, certainly aren’t helping, but they don’t explain the disparity alone. Excluding the $1.6 billion in additional pension contributions Chicago is making in 2025 compared with 2019, our city’s budget still has increased 47% since 2019. And some of these other cities are struggling with deficits, too. Los Angeles, for example, managed earlier this year to cut its fiscal 2024-25 budget by 2% in the face of a bleak multiyear outlook. Bob Blumenfield, chairman of the Los Angeles City Council’s Budget Committee, said it wasn’t “a budget I want to go running down the street (shouting out) how excited I am. ... But I think we can be proud of what we’ve done with what we had.” If only Chicago had more politicians with the same philosophy. Johnson and his supporters have behaved as if the sky would fall if they were compelled to cut spending. Surely, there are efficiencies to be found given how profligate Chicago has been compared with its peers. The $17.3 billion budget on which the City Council will vote doesn’t even keep spending at the 2024 level. It proposes an increase of more than 4% over the current year’s $16.6 billion. To be fair, the blame lies not just with Johnson but also with Lightfoot, who pumped too much of the federal pandemic assistance the city obtained into new programs and additional hiring. But Johnson is in charge now, and it’s on him to change course. Unfortunately, he shows no signs of doing so. After the humiliation last month of a 50-0 council vote to reject his $300 million property tax hike proposal, Johnson reduced his property tax ask to $150 million and now it sits at $68.5 million. He filled the gap with an array of other tax hikes, led by a job-killing $128 million increase in what effectively is a sales tax on cloud-based software licenses, a necessity of modern business life. Shoppers would have to pay 10 cents rather than 7 cents for a disposable bag at retailers. There would be more speed cameras, resulting in more fines in the mail for Chicagoans regardless of income level if they exceed the sped limit in designated areas by more than 5 miles per hour. The amusement tax rate on streaming and live events would increase to an absurd 10.25% from 9%. There’s more, but we’ll stop. Johnson calls this level of spending “investing in people.” But the money for those investments comes, too, from people. Those people must invest in themselves and their families, and with each year the city is making that harder to do. More broadly speaking, the direction Johnson and his council supporters are heading is a road to oblivion, leading to more economic stagnation and potentially shrinkage. For the first time since 2019 (leaving out the pandemic year of 2020), the Chicago metro area (dominated by employment in the city) saw a slight reduction in total jobs in the year that ended in October, according to state data. So aldermen, who to their credit have flexed their policymaking muscles as citywide confidence in the mayor has plunged, must set the new course. They have a chance to so on Friday. As we write, though, it appears there will be just enough votes to push this budget through, as a few council rebels appear to have concluded there’s not enough time in the year to work out an alternative. If so, that weak, short-term thinking only will put off the day of reckoning. A property tax revolt of proportions not seen in these parts in many years likely is coming in 2025, as we’ve written before. Aldermen who vote for this budget won’t be spared the blame just because a $300 million property tax increase was reduced by three-quarters and the difference mostly made up with other taxes. Once angered, voters don’t tend to make those sorts of distinctions. Aldermen are hoping short memories, and the political donations of grateful public sector unions, will save them in 2027 when they face voters again. We think those who vote yes will wear the jacket for the tax anger to come, as well they should. Submit a letter, of no more than 400 words, to the editor here or email letters@chicagotribune.com .

Team claims NASCAR rescinded approval to buy new charter unless federal antitrust suit is droppedFrance said on Thursday it was too soon for the European Union to consider lifting sanctions on Syria following the removal of President Bashar al-Assad and would first focus on defining its position on Syria’s transition. Most EU governments welcomed Assad’s fall but are considering whether they can work with the rebels that ousted him including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Islamist group that is designated a terrorist organization by the EU. EU foreign ministers are due to meet in Brussels next week. Asked whether Paris could push for the lifting of sanctions on Syria, notably in the energy sector, Foreign ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine told reporters: “We are taking this in an orderly way, step by step.” “We know the sanctions regime on Syria is very tough, but for now the discussions in Brussels will especially be on the position of the Europeans on the political transition. The sanctions question can come after that,” he said. Since cutting ties with Assad in 2012, France has not sought to normalize ties with Syria’s government and has backed a broadly secular exiled opposition and Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria. French officials met representatives of such groups this and Paris has said a political transition in Syria must be credible and inclusive, in line with a framework set out by the United Nations. Western diplomats say they want to see how the group approaches the transition before making big decisions such as on sanctions, the lifting of the designation of HTS as a terrorist group and ultimately providing financial support for Syria.

Last meeting: Ravens beat Chargers 20-10 in Inglewood, Calif., on Nov. 26, 2023. Last week: Ravens lost to Pittsburgh 18-16; Chargers beat Cincinnati 34-27. Ravens offense: overall (1), rush (2), pass (3), scoring (2). Ravens defense: overall (3), rush (26), pass (2), scoring (23). Chargers offense: overall (18), rush (12), pass (19), scoring (18). Chargers defense: overall (11), rush (11), pass (12), scoring (1). Turnover differential: Ravens plus-2; Chargers plus-8. Ravens player to watch K Justin Tucker missed two field goals last week and is under pressure after spending most of his career beyond reproach. He’s missed six field goals on the season and is 4 for 12 from 50-plus yards since the start of last season. Chargers player to watch WR Ladd McConkey had a career-high 123 yards on six receptions against Cincinnati. The rookie came up with clutch catches of 28 and 27 yards to set up the game-winning touchdown. Key matchup Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins vs. Ravens’ run defense. Dobbins showed promise during his time in Baltimore, but he never was able to live up to that potential because of injuries. Now in Los Angeles on a one-year “prove it” contract, Dobbins has nearly matched his most productive season as a professional with 726 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games. After seeing Pittsburgh run the ball 34 times last week, the Chargers will be glad to copy that bruising approach with Dobbins. The Ravens are allowing 77.5 rushing yards per game, but even the sturdiest defense can buckle against that volume of work, so getting off the field will be critical. Key injuries Baltimore’s defense has a couple of significant injury concerns. LB Roquan Smith (hamstring) left last weekend’s game, and S Kyle Hamilton has been nursing an ankle problem, although he played against the Steelers. ... Chargers OLB Khalil Mack (groin) didn’t play against Cincinnati. If the veteran pass rusher remains out this week, it would be a big loss to the chances of containing the Ravens’ multi-faceted offense. Series notes The Ravens have won four straight over the Chargers in the regular season, but Los Angeles did earn a 23-17 AFC wild-card round upset in January 2019. ... Baltimore cruised to a 34-6 win over the Chargers in its first visit to SoFi Stadium on Oct. 17, 2021. Stats and stuff Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Ravens RB Derrick Henry leads the NFL with 1,185 yards rushing and 15 total TDs (13 rushing and two receiving). He’s also run for a league-high 52 first downs. ... Henry is one rushing TD shy of the Ravens’ single-season record, set by Jamal Lewis in 2003. ... Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson is 6-2 on “Monday Night Football” with 20 TD passes and no interceptions. ... Henry is one of four players in the Super Bowl era to score a TD in each of the first 11 games of a season. The others are O.J. Simpson (1975), John Riggins (1983) and Jerry Rice (1987). ... The Ravens have scored touchdowns on a league-best 77.8% of their red zone trips. ... Jackson needs 124 yards passing and 16 yards rushing for a second consecutive season with 3,000 passing and 600 rushing. Since the AFL-NFL merger, only Randall Cunningham (1988-1990), Cam Newton (2011-12), Josh Allen (2021-22) and Jalen Hurts (2021-23) have accomplished that feat. ... Dobbins ran for two touchdowns against Cincinnati, giving him multiple scores in two of his past three games. He did it twice in 24 games as a Raven. ... OLB Tuli Tuipulotu had 1 1/2 sacks of Bengals QB Joe Burrow, his third straight game with more than one. All seven of Tuipulotu’s sacks this season have come in the past four games, and six of his eight tackles for loss have come in that span. ... The Chargers allowed a season-worst 27 points to Cincinnati after holding each of their previous nine opponents to 20 points or fewer. ... QB Justin Herbert has thrown one interception in 277 attempts this season. That lone pick came in Week 2 at Carolina. ... The Chargers lost their fifth turnover of the season when Herbert fumbled to start the fourth quarter. It was their first turnover at home. ... Los Angeles does not have a takeaway in its past two games. Fantasy tip Herbert has heated up after a slow start in terms of fantasy production, having thrown for multiple touchdowns in three of his past four games. He is likely to keep that success going this week. Baltimore has allowed 22 scores through the air, which is tied with Houston for second most in the league, and Herbert should have plenty of chances to add to that total in what could be another high-scoring matchup. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Advertisement Advertisement
