Ryan Coogler's Sinners Turns Horror into History
Set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow era, the film offers layered representation.

‘Zizi & Me’ is a double act between drag queen 'Me The Drag Queen', and a deepfake (A.I.) clone of 'Me The Drag Queen'. By training a neural network on filmed footage this network learnt to construct a virtual body that can be controlled by feeding it new reference movements. The first act 'Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)’ satirizes the idea that an AI is something that we might mistake for a human. Through drag performance, we aim to use cabaret and musical theatre to challenge narratives surrounding A.I. and society.

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.
Disney has a glaring and, up until recently, unaddressed issue that spans nearly its entire lifetime - an absence of diversity.
Masterful satire that shines a light on the struggles of Black creatives.
