The most fantastic time of year is here again. io9 is about to head down to Austin, Texas, for a week of fun, fucked-up films at Fantastic Fest, one of the coolest, most unique genre film festivals in the entire world. It’s a festival that focuses on only showing the weirdest, most out-there, totally badass films, and we’re excited to jump right in as always. What makes attending Fantastic Fest difficult, though, is that every single movie sounds awesome. It was curated that way. So how do you

TIFF 2025: Frankenstein, Knives Out 3, and all the biggest movies from Toronto

The Toronto International Film Festival is almost like a preview of the movie slate for the next few months — and this year I’m watching as much as possible to give you all the scoop on what’s ahead. To do that, I’ll be writing a dispatch covering every movie I’ve seen that day, which will run daily throughout most of the festival. That includes bigger movies you probably already know about, like Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man and Frankenstein, along with hopefully some great new films you maybe wer

Researchers Discover Another Place Where People Live Freakishly Long

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-15 03:35:01

There are regions where an atypically large number of people enjoy a much longer lifespan than elsewhere on the planet. In these so-called Blue Zones—such as Ogliastra in Italy, Ikaria in Greece, Okinawa in Japan, and Martinique—the population tends to eat healthy, stay physically active, engage with a community, and live with a sense of purpose. (Why are we surprised they live longer, again?). An international team of researchers has investigated how these Blue Zone lifestyle principles apply

How Burning Man VR rebuilt after Microsoft shut it down

theverge.com Janko Roettgers 2025-11-01 22:30:00

It was all just supposed to be a one-time thing. When Burning Man got canceled because of covid-19 in 2020, a number of attendees banded together to re-create the festival on the social VR platform Altspace. That virtual Burning Man experience not only attracted around 13,000 visitors, but also accolades from the Producers Guild of America. The success led to the decision to keep the digital version of Burning Man going even when the real-life festival returned in 2021. BRCvr, named after the f

I Saw the Future of AI Film and It Was Empty

Last year, filmmaker Paul Schrader—the director of Blue Collar, American Gigolo, and First Reformed, and writer of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver—issued what seemed like the last word on artificial intelligence in Hollywood filmmaking. A few days after the release of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part Two, Schrader asked his Facebook followers: “Will Dune 3 be made by AI?

On Harm Reduction Photograph: The Bunk Police Regardless of your personal habits, drug use can be prevalent at festivals. It's important to know the location of medical tents, to pay attention to your surroundings, and to look out for your fellow festival attendees the way you'd want them to look out for you. I highly recommend getting trained in administering naloxone (Narcan). It prevents opioid overdose, and it's easy to obtain training and the medicine itself for cheap. I took mine throug

Cannibal Modernity: Oswald de Andrade's Manifesto Antropófago (1928)

Perhaps a more revealing aspect of the Manifesto was the claim that: “Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, Brazil had discovered happiness.” This statement conferred a local imprimatur on a vision that applied, and perhaps still applies, in Europe and North America of far-off Brazil as a kind of natural and human paradise, a place not only abundant, tropical, and permissive, but also one where race has become unimportant — a fantasy, of course, but one worth holding on to.
