LE SSERAFIM member Sakura has spoken up about her support for the LGBTQ community and why she does it.During a recent interview with Weverse Magazine, the Japanese K-pop idol discussed a column she had previously written in 2017 about the Japanese drama film Close-knit, in which she had voiced her support for the LGBTQ community.The 2017 movie follows a young girl who is taken in by her uncle and his transgender girlfriend after her mother abandons her. In her review of the film, Sakura had advocated for developing a “better understanding of the LGBTQ community”.In the interview, Sakura spoke about how “there was actually an atmosphere of caution around idols speaking their minds around that time”, yet she though that she “could say that anyway”.She went on to explain that she wanted to use her platform as a celebrity to influence others.

David Bowie tribute show to be held in UK’s largest planetarium

David Bowie will be honoured with a new stage performance at the National Space Centre, with four shows slated to go down later this month.The show, titled Bowie: Oddity To Mars, features a live performance from the five-piece tribute band David Live – named for Bowie’s 1974 live album – alongside projections of footage provided by NASA, and an additional visual element developed by the Space Centre’s own in-house team.NASA’s footage, which will be delivered in the show as a 360-degree projection, was shot during the journey of Apollo 17 – the Apollo program’s final mission to Mars in 1972. The show itself will celebrate the same stretch of Bowie’s career that the Apollo program ran for, beginning with 1969’s self-titled record and ending with ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars’ (which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year).The show will take place in the Space Centre’s Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium – the largest of its ilk in the UK – on Friday May 20 and Saturday 21.

‘Emily in Paris,’ ‘The Last Duel’ Among Recent Productions Aided by French Incentives

Ben Croll Playing a foundational role in the history of film and benefitting from enough picturesque locales to launch a thousand postcards, France has long attracted directors and crews from across the globe.Keeping them on site for more than a few days, however, was once a different story altogether.The 2009 passage of the Tax Rebate for Intl. Production (TRIP) and the subsequent 13 years of refinements both incremental and substantial have fundamentally reshaped that logic.

VFX Biz Gains Big Boost from New French Production Policies

Ben Croll For some time, the French VFX sector suffered an acute case of brain drain, as young professionals would graduate from internationally admired institutions and nearly immediately take their talents abroad.“Years ago, when I spoke with students from [the renowned school] ArtFX, something like 95% of them planned to leave after graduation,” says VFX supervisor Emmanuel Pichereau. “Only when I consulted with this year’s graduating class, I saw many of them change their mind about staying in France.”What changed, of course, has much to do with France’s newly revamped tax plan, which now offers a 40% rebate to productions that spend at least $2.27 million with local VFX studios.
