There’s something about early-80s animation that just can’t be recreated today—the grain, the grit, the handmade feel in every frame. It was imperfect in the best possible way, alive with style, attitude, and an artistic freedom that feels almost rebellious now. ✨ Heavy Metal (1981) is the perfect time capsule of that era: an animated cult classic directed by Gerald Potterton, weaving together sci-fi, fantasy, rock, and surrealism into a wild anthology inspired by the pages of Heavy Metal magazine. 🚀🔥

ECHOES: Feature Film ECHOES is my latest short film. What started as a sci-fi story slowly transformed into something far more intimate and emotional. A piece about illness, the passage of time and the way we all end up creating our own mental planets to cope with what fades away. I know it is not a perfect piece, but it is an honest attempt to make real cinema. This is not a one-day experiment. I truly believe projects need the time they need. ECHOES was made with intention, care and a lot of passion. I hope the story connects with you. And if it does, sharing it means a lot. Social media needs more stories that care about storytelling. Produced by wearediva Special Thanks: Freepik (now Magnific) Runway Wild Cat Records

Where the Robots Grow, from AiMation Studios, is one of the first fully AI-animated feature films. It was created by just 9 people in 90 days with lead actor Taylor Clarke-Hill voicing multiple characters using our voice changer and with our AI-generated sound effects bringing the world to life. We spoke with founder Tom Paton about their process and plans for 25 more AI films. Check out the trailer below and hear more from our conversation with Tom Paton here:

For all of you that responded to Netflix’s tweet with “The Passport of Mallam Ilia,” this is for you! We have put blood and sweat into this project since 2019 when we started it and for the first time, you all get to see what it looks like. THE FIRST LOOK. We hope this makes you proud as a Nigerian because we are creating a global standard animated film adapted from a Nigerian story from scratch here in Nigeria and by Nigerian animators too. We are almost finished with it but we need your support to complete it and put it out there. You can support us by investing here: #supportPOMI #passportofmallamilia #fromclassictoepic #jointhetrain

🚨🚨BREAKING UPDATES 🚨 🇨🇳 China Debuts First Fully AI-Made Animated Feature China has premiered what it calls the world’s first fully AI-generated animated feature film. No human animators, no traditional pipeline, no army of artists working on frames at 3 a.m. Scripts, storyboards, character design, animation, voice synthesis - all handled by AI systems in a single production flow. This is not a tech demo. It is a proof of concept aimed at the global entertainment industry. Here is the real implication: animation was supposed to be the safe creative sector - high skill, high labor, culturally protected. China just showed that with enough compute, training data, and state-backed patience, that protection disappears fast. The quality? Debatable. The signal? Undeniable. This lowers production costs, shortens timelines, and breaks the Western studio model built on unions, bottlenecks, and IP gatekeeping. It also gives Beijing something Hollywood once controlled: Scalable cultural output. What happens next is predictable. More AI films. Better ones. Export versions tuned for global platforms. And a quiet arms race where studios pretend this is not happening while changing their balance sheets. This is not about art yet. It is about who controls the factory where culture gets made.

FIRST LOOK: Wicker is an upcoming romantic fantasy that stars Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Peter Dinklage and is directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. The idea here is that Colman plays a fisherwoman who pays a local basketmaker to weave her a custom husband out of…you guessed it- wicker. This looks interesting but I’m not sure it’s worthy of being added to my Letterboxd watchlist just yet. I’ll need to read more about this one before tossing her on the watchlist.

Finally wrapped up my short fantasy-adventure film inspired by the Kingdom of Benin and the Edo people of present-day Nigeria—one of my favorite African civilizations to study and creatively explore. I tried to keep the clothing and cultural elements grounded in Edo traditions while blending them with fantasy and science fiction. I’m much more interested in imaginative adaptations than strict historical reenactments because fantasy, adventure, and sci-fi allow us to explore African cultures in limitless new ways. Edo culture has so much potential for world-building, character design, architecture, mythology, technology, and storytelling. It is genuinely one of the most fascinating cultures to experiment with creatively. For my next short film, I’m focusing heavily on Ashanti culture. In the future, I would also love to explore Dahomey, Munhumutapa, and many other African kingdoms and civilizations through fantasy, adventure, and science fiction. I’m completely obsessed with sci-fi and would love to continue creating stories that use African societies and civilizations as the foundation for entirely new worlds. I would love to hear your opinions: which African civilization would you like to see me explore next?

Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius on the collapse of FCAS with France: That the end for FCAS came was no longer surprising. It had been pointing that way for quite some time. It came down above all to tensions — let me put it that way — between the two major industries. With the knowledge of today, we would not set up this project the way it was set up back then. That is a lesson we must draw from this. It was an ambitious, large European project that has now shattered against reality. We have to live with that. There is absolutely no reason to assume that the German-French relationship is strained because of this. This changes nothing about the relationship with France. There are a multitude of smaller and larger projects on our agenda. As for the new jet — we will see which paths we take. We have already been in talks with various actors for months. You can imagine that I will not publicly speculate here about which project it could be.

ALWAYS HAS BEEN Chapter 1: Fenestra Animae Website: X Article: Whitepaper video (~10 min) (see below) This is by far my most ambitious project yet and so I've provided a few ways to dig into the many deep layers of the artwork. First is the website which has the full whitepaper and a blueprint of the entire system. It also has a fun design, so I'd definitely check it out even just for that. Second, I've included the full whitepaper as an X article, so that it is easy to access and read. Third, I've created a video (~10 min) that narrates the entire text of the whitepaper with video illustrations of the concepts within the artwork (see below). There is a lot in there and those that take the time to understand it all will benefit greatly when the time comes. Hopefully one of these ways of reading the whitepaper will provide an easy way to dive in. I'll be following up with more posts and discussions to dig into the nuanced aspects of the work. In addition, a new version of The Terminal (FKA Latent Space Terminal) has also launched today. You can visit The Terminal here: But you will need to engage with the Always Has Been X account to gain access.

Elon Musk laid out the most ambitious compute expansion in human history and it ends with harnessing the Sun "We'll be launching with SpaceX orbital data centers at the 100 to 200 gigawatt per year level. Not cumulative; I mean per year" And this is just step one, the next step is Scale further from Earth to launch a full terawatt per year of AI compute into orbit It gets even crazier from here When even a terawatt isn't enough....Go to the Moon. Build factories. Build AI satellites Deploy a mass driver - the thing you only read about in sci-fi novels and push output to thousands of gigawatts per year and ultimately get to maybe a millionth and then a thousandth and maybe even a few percent of the sun's energy "It's difficult to imagine what an intelligence of that scale would think about but it's going to be incredibly exciting"

Sora animates with this wonderful wonky, sketchy dreamlike quality that perfectly captures the nostalgic atmosphere of a hazy 90's suburban summer afternoon. While Seedance is just as sophisticated and in some aspects superior, I will miss the quality of Sora. Sora feels like 35mm film, with the nuanced way it captures lighting, color, and perspective, while Seedance feels digital - a bit too clean. I am confident that I can replicate this sketchy quality in Seedance by tweaking my prompts, but Sora has a unique way of animating that really should be preserved. There are many more bugs and mistakes with Sora, but when it gets it right, it REALLY hits a level of artful magic that sets it above all other models. I am shocked that I still appear to be the only person who is creating AI-Generated 2D animation with original characters while developing a unique Western style. Practically no one is doing 2D AI-animation at all, and when they do, it is usually an attempt to mimic an Anime style. 2D really should be attempted more by AI Filmmakers!! Especially with a Western model like Sora, before it is terminated in the fall. Really, everyone should be taking advantage of the way this model so skillfully animates, with the heart and soul of a seasoned professional. I personally feel AI-generated animation is superior to 3D/realistic AI filmmaking. While AI-generated realism is an attempt to mimic real life through a lens, 2D animation IS what it is - not a replica of anything, just a cartoon. I love all my AI filmmaker bros and all of the cutting edge work going on, but I urge all of you to give 2D animation a chance. : ) I'm still not giving up hope that we can save Sora somehow. Now that I see that Seedance is able to animate 2D brilliantly and beautifully, I know that it's not some hidden secret, and we can replicate the weights and maths of Sora. If we can't preserve Sora, we can make a comparable model. It's not just in the interest of AI-Animators like me to preserve this model, but in the interest of the entire American AI community if they want Western AI to be superior. If not, Chinese video models will dominate. And while I am perfectly happy to use a Chinese model and I am just eternally grateful that this technology exists at all, I would love to see American audiovisual models continue to be developed! #AIAnimation #AIFilmmaking #AIArt #SaveSora #SummerofSora #WillStancilShow Elon Musk Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 Sora Bill Peebles NVIDIA Sam Altman

The NBPA (National basketball players Association) is kicking off the new venture with a digital ad campaign, "Own the Game," narrated by nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving, it features stars Stephen Curry, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown and more. Kendrick Lamar's creative agency, Project 3, produced the campaign and the "film" will debut at Cannes Lions. "If you think about any artist who is authentically himself and goes directly to his fans, no one does it better, I would say, than Kendrick Lamar," Kelly said. He adds that the PA wants to create an authentic brand that represents the players and does not have a "middleman," and Lamar has done that with his fan base.

🇨🇳 CHINA DEBUTS FIRST FULLY AI-MADE ANIMATED FEATURE - HOLLYWOOD JUST GOT A CLOCK China has premiered what it’s calling the world’s first fully AI-generated animated feature film - no human animators, no traditional pipeline, no army of artists grinding frames at 3 a.m. Scripts, storyboards, character design, animation, voice synthesis - all handled by AI systems stitched into a single production flow. This isn’t a tech demo. It’s a proof of concept aimed straight at the heart of the global entertainment industry. Here’s the real implication: animation was supposed to be the safe creative sector - high skill, high labor, culturally protected. China just showed that with enough compute, training data, and state-backed patience, that moat evaporates fast. The quality? Debatable. The signal? Undeniable. This collapses production costs, shortens timelines, and breaks the Western studio model built on unions, bottlenecks, and IP gatekeeping. It also hands Beijing something Hollywood once monopolized: Scalable cultural output. What happens next is predictable. More AI films. Better ones. Export versions tuned for global platforms. And a quiet arms race where studios pretend this isn’t happening while rewriting their balance sheets. This isn’t about art yet. It’s about who controls the factory where culture gets made.

AFRICAN STREAM VISITS THOMAS SANKARA PLAZA IN NIGER Last month, African Stream had the opportunity to visit the new Thomas Sankara Plaza in Niamey, Niger, that many Pan-Africanists worldwide have been raving about. While we had covered the plaza’s inauguration on 15 October, the date of Sankara's assassination, we were able this time to see it first-hand and speak with Nigeriens and Burkinabé about what it means. This move is just one of many in honour of revolutionary Pan-Africanist and socialist figures within the Sahel. Niger’s government recently honoured Djibo Bakary (1922-98), the great Nigerien socialist and Pan-Africanist leader whom African Stream produced a video about, by changing the name of Charles de Gaulle Avenue (in honour of a French coloniser) to Djibo Bakary Avenue. However, the changes in Niger are more than just symbolic. With Niger expelling French and US military forces and ending French mining giant Orano's contract, Niger is forging a path toward sovereignty that we suspect would make assassinated Burkina Faso President Thomas Sankara (1949-87) proud.

🎬 Backrooms (2026) At just 20 years old, Kane Parsons, the visionary behind the viral YouTube series The Backrooms, made his feature directorial debut with A24’s Backrooms, becoming the studio’s youngest-ever feature film director. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Mark Duplass, the film is produced by horror heavyweights James Wan, Shawn Levy, and Osgood Perkins. Its impressive creative team quickly sparked online speculation that Parsons couldn’t have directed such an ambitious project on his own. Those rumors were swiftly dismissed by Mark Duplass, who publicly stated that Parsons was “100% in control” throughout production, emphasizing that the young filmmaker never needed anyone to take over behind the camera. Parsons also responded with his trademark humor, joking that 96% of North American and European films are secretly directed by the same mysterious figure known as “The Older Gentleman.” Receiving strong early praise, including an 8/10 from IGN, Backrooms marks another milestone in the growing wave of YouTube creators successfully transitioning into feature filmmaking. More than just a horror film, it’s a testament to how talent, creativity, and vision can transcend age. Kane Parsons isn’t just one of the youngest directors in Hollywood, he’s proving that the next generation of filmmakers has already arrived.

Tottenham Hotspur training this morning. Lots of people asking about the practice from Roberto De Zerbi today, so here it is. The first place you'll find this animated to explain, before other pages see it then make it also. Three zones. Five v two running in the active end zones. Split by a central zone. Out of possession, the pressers in the central zone can press wide players or look to intercept direct transfers. Focus on patience in possession. Move it, wait, then find the right moment to turn and progress, either wide or straight through.
