The term "4K" is generic and refers to any resolution with a horizontal pixel count of approximately 4,000.: 2 Several different 4K resolutions have been standardized by various organizations. The terms "4K" and "Ultra HD" are used more widely in marketing than "2160p" (cf. "1080p"). While typically referring to motion pictures, some digital camera vendors have used the term "4K photo" for still photographs, making it appear like an especially high resolution even though 3840×2160 pixels equal approximately 8.3 megapixels, which is not considered to be especially high for still photographs

The Rise of Amsterdam
Surrealist cinema is a modernist approach to film theory, criticism, and production, with origins in Paris in the 1920s. The Surrealist movement used shocking, irrational, or absurd imagery and Freudian dream symbolism to challenge the traditional function of art to represent reality. Related to Dada cinema, Surrealist cinema is characterized by juxtapositions, the rejection of dramatic psychology, and a frequent use of shocking imagery

Birth of a radio
Radio receivers are essential components of all systems based on radio technology. The information produced by the receiver may be in the form of sound, video (television), or digital data. A radio receiver may be a separate piece of electronic equipment, or an electronic circuit within another device. The most familiar type of radio receiver for most people is a broadcast radio receiver, which reproduces sound transmitted by radio broadcasting stations, historically the first mass-market radio application. A broadcast receiver is commonly called a "radio". However radio receivers are very widely used in other areas of modern technology, in televisions, cell phones, wireless modems, radio clocks and other components of communications, remote control, and wireless networking systems.

Many notable film studios such as Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and Universal Pictures are located in or near Hollywood. Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. The northern and eastern parts of the neighborhood were consolidated with the City of Los Angeles in 1910. Soon thereafter, the prominent film industry migrated to the area.

Colonia Suriname
For almost forty years the sisters Curiel sisters took pictures of everyday life in Suriname. The photographs show that Augusta Curiel was a compositional and a technically gifted photographer. She always worked with available light and no photometer. Despite these limitations, they proved able to create beautiful images in dim government buildings, churches and factories. Curiel's oeuvre is made up of mostly daily life topics, which were of value to historians and other interested parties. They photographed both in their studio and on plantations and in the interior. The botanist Gerold Stahel took the women on some of his expeditions. Many of the surviving images are group portraits, made by and for (mission) schools, boarding schools and orphanages.

"Cultural" Renaissance\ We are in the midst of a cultural re\'adnaissance in which the importance of cultivation-focused efforts has been rediscovered, with ex\'adciting results and implications. Several groups have demonstrated that a high percentage of host-associated microbiome members can be cultivated and that such culture collections are in\'addispensable for deducing important aspects of microbiome function . The renewed moti\'adva\'adtion to culture cells from nonhost environments, such as soil , aquatic environments , and the deep biosphere , is inspired, in part, by these successes and the enormous amounts of mo\'adlecular data that have illuminated seemingly limitless microbially diverse populations that we know very little about We can now dissect life\'92s blueprints for these uncultivated lineages and use this information to facilitate cultivation, insight not afforded to previous generations of resear\'adchers.}

While the most common form of film adaptation is the use of a novel as the basis, other works adapted into films include non-fiction (including journalism), autobiographical works, comic books, scriptures, plays, historical sources and even other films. Adaptation from such diverse resources has been a ubiquitous practice of filmmaking since the earliest days of cinema in nineteenth-century Europe. In contrast to when making a remake, movie directors usually take more creative liberties when creating a film adaptation, changing the context of factors such as audience or genre.

Attention seeking behavior is defined as "engaging in behavior designed to attract notice and to make oneself the focus of others' attention and admiration".. People are thought to engage in both positive and negative attention seeking behavior independent of the actual benefit or harm to health. In line with much research and a dynamic self-regulatory processing model of narcissism, motivations for attention seeking are considered to be driven by self-consciousness and thus an externalization of personality rather than internal and self-motivated behavior. Attention seeking is often caused by threats to one's self-concept and the need for social acceptance. This type of influence on behavior can result in a potential loss of a person's sense of agency, personality disorder and the behavior associated with these conditions.

The term "silent film" is something of a misnomer, as these films were almost always accompanied by live sounds. During the silent era, which existed from the mid-1890s to the late 1920s, a pianist, theater organist—or even, in larger cities, an orchestra—would play music to accompany the films. Pianists and organists would play either from sheet music, or improvisation.

Artis museum
A museum was a given for the founders of the Zoological Society Natura Artis Magistra. They wanted to do research and in this way transfer knowledge about nature. They started collecting dead animals in 1838 and soon also living animals. The living animals were given their enclosures in the ever-expanding park, while a small building was built for the dead animals. This collection grew and within a few years this forerunner of the Groote Museum proved to be too small.

Ocean by David Attenborough
While Attenborough's earlier work focused primarily on the wonders of the natural world, his later work has been more vocal in support of environmental causes. He has advocated for restoring planetary biodiversity, limiting population growth, switching to renewable energy, mitigating climate change, reducing meat consumption and setting aside more areas for natural preservation. On his broadcasting and passion for nature, NPR stated Attenborough "roamed the globe and shared his discoveries and enthusiasms with his patented semi-whisper way of narrating".

Interactive museum Each zone in the museum represents a part of your body, such as your heart or your vocal cords. That part of your body is the starting point for an associative exploration of yourself and your connection with the world around you. Installations, interactions, stories, films, collection pieces and photos bring each zone to life. Artists and scientists have contributed their expertise. The museum combines multiple specialisms and is interdisciplinary, which allows you to see the bigger picture better. It is therefore an interactive museum, as well as a philosophical museum and a natural history museum.

Scholarly discourse on the controversy came to focus on concern for the perception of moving image and sound. There are individual and cultural preferences for either method. While approaches and opinions vary, some emphasize sound as paramount, others focus on technology preferences as the deciding factor. Analog fans might embrace limitations as strengths of the medium inherent in the compositional, editing, mixing, and listening phases. Digital advocates boast flexibility in similar processes. This debate fosters a revival of vinyl in the music industry, as well as analog electronics and analog-type plug-ins for recording and mixing software.

Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the script, screenplay, dialogues and delivering it, in the required format, to development executives. Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay and, arguably, of the finished film. Screenwriters either pitch original ideas to producers, in the hope that they will be optioned or sold; or are commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept, true story, existing screen work or literary work, such as a novel, poem, play, comic book, or short story.

I started filming when we started to finish.’ So says Palestinian Basel Adra, who decided to pick up his camera in 2019 to document how the Israeli army systematically destroys homes, schools and other living facilities in his home village and surrounding settlements in the West Bank, to ‘make way for military training areas’. In his documentary, Adra is assisted by Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham. The blossoming friendship between the two is the linchpin in this gripping and shocking story about power, abuse of power and powerlessness, set in the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Winner of the Audience Award at IDFA 2024 and awarded an Oscar.

Camera tricks
Compositing is the process or technique of combining visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene. Live-action shooting for compositing is variously called "chroma key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other names. Today, most compositing is achieved through digital image manipulation. Pre-digital compositing techniques, however, go back as far as the trick films of Georges Méliès in the late 19th century, and some are still in use.

Motion control photography is a technique used in still and motion photography that enables precise control of, and optionally also allows repetition of, camera movements. It can be used to facilitate special effects photography. The process can involve filming several elements using the same camera motion, and then compositing the elements into a single image. Other effects are often used along with motion control, such as chroma key to aid the compositing. Motion control camera rigs are also used in still photography with or without compositing; for example in long exposures of moving vehicles

Djakarta '46
Jakarta, 1946. The capital of Indonesia was still called Djakarta and the archipelago was officially still called the Dutch East Indies. At least, from a Dutch perspective. Indonesia had already declared independence after the Second World War and the struggle to achieve it grew steadily.
That revolution not only led to terrible violence and bloodshed, but also to an unexpected role for sex and sensuality, as Djakarta 1946 shows. The result is an original yet unbalanced war thriller.

Steve Cutts A animator who pulls no punches when it comes to exposing the darker side of modern life. With a sharp satirical edge, his work dives deep into themes like consumerism, environmental destruction, and our growing dependence on technology—holding up a mirror to the excesses we often overlook. What makes his style truly stand out is the way he fuses vintage charm with brutal honesty. Inspired by the rubber-hose cartoons of the 1920s and 30s, along with bold lines from modern comics, his animations and illustrations are both nostalgic and hauntingly relevant. Steve Cutts doesn’t just create art—he sparks conversations we can’t afford to ignore.

The increasingly rare industry term "short subject" carries more of an assumption that the film is shown as part of a presentation along with a feature film. Short films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals and made by independent filmmakers with either a low budget or no budget at all. They are usually funded by one or more film grants, nonprofit organizations, sponsors, or personal funds. Short films are generally used for industry experience and as a platform to showcase talent to secure funding for future projects from private investors, a production company, or film studios. They can also be released with feature films, and can also be included as bonus features on some home video releases.

To the lakes
More than 50 years ago, nature created this vast marshland in southern Flevoland. Geese, spoonbills and cormorants soon found their way to the Oostvaardersplassen, as did deer, foxes, hares, bats and butterflies. And since 2006, even the sea eagle has been breeding there. In this bird-rich marshland, man and nature work together in a special way. For example, you will encounter Heck cattle, Konik horses and red deer along the way. They keep the grasslands open in a natural way with their grazing. And they in turn also require care and management. Discover this bird-rich marshland and experience how each season has its own dynamics and surprising developments.

What is a cult film? A cult film is one that has a passionate following, but does not appeal to everybody. James Bond movies are not cult films, but chainsaw movies are. Just because a movie is a cult film does not automatically guarantee quality: some cult movies are very bad; others are very, very good.

The concept of videotelephony was conceived in the late 19th century, and versions were available to the public starting in the 1930s..
In 1970, AT&T launched the first commercial personal videotelephone system. In addition to videophones, there existed image phones which exchanged still images between units every few seconds over conventional telephone lines. The development of advanced video codecs, more powerful CPUs, and high-bandwidth Internet service in the late 1990s allowed digital videophones to provide high-quality low-cost color service between users almost any place in the world..
News media organizations have used videotelephony for broadcasting.

Reconstruction: Market Garden
In film, flashbacks depict the subjective experience of a character by showing a memory of a previous event and they are often used to "resolve an enigma". Flashbacks are important in film noir and melodrama films. In films and television, several camera techniques, editing approaches and special effects have evolved to alert the viewer that the action shown is a flashback or flashforward; for example, the edges of the picture may be deliberately blurred, photography may be jarring or choppy, or unusual coloration or sepia tone, or monochrome when most of the story is in full color, may be used. The scene may fade or dissolve, often with the camera focused on the face of the character and there is typically a voice-over by a narrator (who is often, but not always, the character who is experiencing the memory).
