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".

Sinners: the film

 Filmmaker Shanella Bleeke also makes films about subjects that are discussed in Sinners. According to her, the film not only shows violence within systems, but also deeper themes such as cultural appropriation. Sammy is asked to share his talent with the vampires, but then he loses the music. And when the twin brothers are not fighting the vampires, they are fighting the racist Ku Klux Klan. Bleeke was very happy when she saw a full house with a diverse audience during her cinema visit to Sinners. According to her, the film is a break with a major stigma in Hollywood: that films by black makers would attract a smaller target group. "This is a film that everyone wants to see, but it serves the black community.

Interaction: Groote Museum

 

Numerous companies have developed successful POV designs, from laparoscopic video equipment used inside the body during medical procedures, to high tech film and digital cameras mounted to jets and employed during flight, or on helmet based systems used by cinematographers. These designs are expensive, and mostly bespoke or DIY solutions. There are systems made by camera equipment manufacturers, but they require professional filmmaking experience and training.

Eyecathing Groote museum

 

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.

A podcast is a program made available in digital format for download over the Internet. Typically, a podcast is an episodic series of digital audio files that users can download to a personal device or stream to listen to at a time of their choosing. Podcasts are primarily an audio medium, but some distribute in video, either as their primary content or as a supplement to audio; popularised in recent years by video platform YouTube. In 2025, Bloomberg reported that a billion people are watching podcasts on YouTube every month

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.

A historical drama (also period drama, period piece or just period) is a dramatic work set in a past time period, usually used in the context of film and television, which presents historical events and characters with varying degrees of fictional elements such as creative dialogue or fictional scenes which aim to compress separate events or illustrate a broader factual narrative. The biographical film is a type of historical drama which generally focuses on a single individual or well-defined group. Historical dramas can include romances, adventure films, and swashbucklers.

 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.

Photogenic

 

 

 A photo shoot is the process taken by creatives and models that results in a visual objective being obtained. An example is a model posing for a photographer at a studio or an outdoor location. A photo shoot is a series of images that are taken, with the goal of obtaining images that can then be placed into post-production, or editing. These images are then used for print/digital advertising, business collateral, or just for personal use.

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

Archeology factory

In the ArcheoFactory you are the archaeologist for a while. Choose one of the three archaeological sites and unravel the secrets of this site. Who is buried here? What do the objects you find in the ground mean? Where do they come from? With the help of modern archaeological techniques you can answer all questions. In this way you will learn everything about archaeology and the ways in which archaeologists come from object to story.

Paper puppetry

 

Puppetry is a form of theatre or performance that involves the manipulation of puppets – inanimate objects, often resembling some type of human or animal figure, that are animated or manipulated by a human called a puppeteer. Such a performance is also known as a puppet production. The script for a puppet production is called a puppet play.

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.

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.

MANKIND

 

 

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.

A sequel is a work of literature, film, theatre, television, music, or video game that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier work. In the common context of a narrative work of fiction, a sequel portrays events set in the same fictional universe as an earlier work, usually chronologically following the events of that work.

Slovak Animations

 

Slovak Film Institute (est. in 1963) is the sole national film institution in Slovakia, comprising of National Film Archive and National Cinematographic Centre. It handles producers' rights to Slovak films produced by Slovak National Studios in 1895 – 1991, and is a member of FIAF and EFP, as well as the seat of Creative Europe Desk Slovakia. The National Film Archive preserves and protects national heritage and makes it available for the public. The National Cinematographic Centre of the Slovak Film Institute is the national film promotion agency promoting Slovak films – both, classic and recent – and Slovak filmmakers internationally. The NCC provides complex information services about Slovak cinema and organizes film showcases of Slovak cinema in Slovakia and abroad.

Anime

 

Anime is the translation for animation from Japan. Sometimes anime are drawn but they are mainly made with the computer. Anime has been famous in Japan for a long time. There are even entire TV channels that are specially made for anime. In almost every country you see a Pokémon or Goku. Many films are also drawn in the anime style and some films seem to copy anime. Anime are mainly series.

Videophone (in Metropolis)

 

 

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).

New: Oscar for stunts

 

 

The Academy Awards, commonly known as the Oscars, are awards for artistic and technical merit in film. They are presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in the United States in recognition of excellence in cinematic achievements as assessed by the Academy's voting membership. The Oscars are widely considered to be the most prestigious awards in the film industry.

Actors are selected to play various types of roles. A main cast comprises several actors whose appearances are significant in film, theatre, or television. Their roles are often called starring roles. Within a main cast, there is often a male or female lead who plays the largest role, that of the protagonist in a production^] When there is no singular lead, the main roles are referred to collectively as an ensemble cast, which comprises several principal actors and performers who are typically assigned roughly equal screen time. A supporting actor is one with a role that is important to a play or film, but less so than that of the leading actors

Livestreaming, live-streaming, or live streaming is the streaming of video or audio in real time or near real time. While often referred to simply as streaming, the real-time nature of livestreaming differentiates it from other non-live broadcast forms of streamed media such as video-on-demand, vlogs and video-sharing platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.

An interview is a structured conversation where one participant asks questions, and the other provides answers. 

In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The interviewer asks questions to which the interviewee responds, usually providing information. That information may be used or provided to other audiences immediately or later. This feature is common to many types of interviews

Digital cinema is the digital technology used within the film industry to distribute or project motion pictures as opposed to the historical use of reels of motion picture film, such as 35 mm film. Whereas film reels have to be shipped to movie theaters, a digital movie can be distributed to cinemas in a number of ways: over the Internet or dedicated satellite links, or by sending hard drives or optical discs such as Blu-ray discs, then projected using a digital video projector instead of a film projector.

The return of the dino's

 

 

 The popular preoccupation with dinosaurs has ensured their appearance in literature, film, and other media. Beginning in 1852 with a passing mention in Charles Dickens' Bleak House, dinosaurs have been featured in large numbers of fictional works. Jules Verne's 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 book The Lost World, the 1914 animated film Gertie the Dinosaur (featuring the first animated dinosaur), the iconic 1933 film King Kong, the 1954 Godzilla and its many sequels, the best-selling 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its 1993 film adaptation are just a few notable examples of dinosaur appearances in fiction. Authors of general-interest non-fiction works about dinosaurs, including some prominent paleontologists, have often sought to use the animals as a way to educate readers about science in general.

Costs and artistic reasons are the main drives behind filming on location. However, outdoor shooting requires more effort because equipment and personnel must be transported to the location. In the early days of cinema, filmmakers tried to film outdoors as much as possible, as sunlight was needed to ensure adequate exposure of poor-quality early film stock; nowadays, due to the increased use of CGI, more shooting is done in a studio. 

 

Facade

 

Point-of-view, or simply p.o.v., camera angles record the scene from a particular player's viewpoint.

the point-of-view is an objective angle, but since it falls between the objective and subjective angle, it should be placed in a separate category and given special consideration. A point-of-view shot is as close as an objective shot can approach a subjective shot—and still remain objective. The camera is positioned at the side of a subjective player—whose viewpoint is being depicted—so that the audience is given the impression they are standing cheek-to-cheek with the off-screen player. The viewer does not see the event through the player's eyes, as in a subjective shot in which the camera trades places with the screen player. He sees the event from the player's viewpoint, as if standing alongside him. Thus, the camera angle remains objective, since it is an unseen observer not involved in the action."

Cineac

 

 

The Cineac (Cinéma d'Actualité) was a cinema chain set up by Pathé where the film newsreel was shown. In France, Pathé set up the first Cinéac and soon these news theatres were very successful, in 1934 there were twenty cinemas in Paris alone. In the Netherlands there was a Cineac in Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht (Filmac, Vredenburg) and Rotterdam. Continuous newsreel The programme lasted an hour, and consisted of a film newsreel and a few other films. It was repeated immediately as a continuous show. Visitors could enter and leave the cinema at any time, with the possibility of staying longer than the duration of the programme, and thus see the programme several times for the entrance fee.

Minecraft Movie

 

Bad reviews The game journalist does not have high expectations for the film adaptation of Minecraft, although he can see from the first images that it was made with love for the game. His opinion is shared by many reviewers. For example, the film received bad reviews in The Guardian and The New York Times. The reactions fit in with the idea that game films rarely receive positive reviews. Whether it matters much to the makers in Hollywood, Vorstermans finds it difficult to say. "At the end of the day, they guarantee success and a lot of money is made."

There are many pathways to becoming a film director. Some film directors started as screenwriters, cinematographers, producers, film editors or actors. Other film directors have attended film school. Directors use different approaches. Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue, while others control every aspect and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely. Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners. Other directors edit or appear in their films or compose music score for their films.

Film and video show

Film festivals can be competitive or non-competitive, and are often regarded within the film industry as launchpads for new filmmakers and indie films, as well as boosters for established filmmakers and studio productions. The films are either invited by festival curators, or selected by festival programmers from submissions made by the filmmakers, film producers, production companies, sales agents or distributors. Audiences have the opportunity to watch in festivals films premiering months before their commercial release, or films that may not benefit from a wide release and would otherwise be hard to find

Online film critics Blogs are a good example to view in relation to how the internet has grown to where social networks and live chats exist alongside websites such as YouTube where people can post their own content. That is because blogging has created new ways for people to make themselves engage with cinematic movies. People who engage themselves with movies choose to participate in various forms of film criticism by using video or DVD clips from YouTube that are placed alongside parts of other films for the sound effects or images from the other films to be used in criticizing the sounds or images that pertain to the YouTube clips that are being criticized. Film critics are also reviewers who are amateurs on websites such as IMDb. Also, many postings from amateur film critics are on IMDb.

The Lumiere brothers showed the first movie to public customers in France in 1895 – only 130 years ago. But today video is becoming the dominant medium in human communication. It accounts for most of our consumer internet traffic worldwide. The gigabyte equivalent of all the movies ever made now crosses the global internet every two minutes. Nearly a million minutes of video content cross global IP networks every sixty seconds. It would take someone – anyone – 5 million years to watch the amount of video that scoots across the internet each month. YouTube – YouTube alone – sees more than 1 billion viewers watching more than 5 billion videos on its platform every day. Video is here, and everywhere.

Vacation: the film

 

 

Film taken by mobile devices often employ characteristics that would have been considered error in conventional film-making. The inclusion of these "mistakes" is a major feature of the mobile film aesthetic. The rejection of the values in conventional production leads to spontaneity, intimacy, and immediacy becoming important motifs in phone cinematography. Apparently unintentional events can give films an aesthetic defined by authenticity, emphasizing how cinematography must use real world world as subject matter. This visual style evolved from the origins of mobile film making as an amateur practice pursued by enthusiasts. It can be viewed as a reaction to the polished, professional aesthetic that has come to define the film industry. The mobility of phone cameras make adaptable scheduling, flexible production, a smaller crew, and an ability to adapt to environmental factors possible and further promote the conditions that stylistically characterize mobile film-making.

Artificial intelligence art is visual artwork created or enhanced through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. Artists began to create artificial intelligence art in the mid to late 20th century when the discipline was founded. Throughout its history, artificial intelligence art has raised many philosophical concerns related to the human mind, artificial beings, and what can be considered art in a human–AI collaboration. Since the 20th century, artists have used AI to create art, some of which has been exhibited in museums and won awards.

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes. Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting "April Fools!" at the recipient. Mass media can be involved with these pranks, which may be revealed as such the following day. The custom of setting aside a day for playing harmless pranks upon one's neighbour has been relatively common in the world historically.

Generative artificial intelligence is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses generative models to produce text, images, videos, or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data and use them to produce new data based on the input, which often comes in the form of natural language prompts. Generative AI has uses across a wide range of industries, including software development, healthcare, finance, entertainment, customer service, sales and marketing, art, writing, fashion, and product design. However, concerns have been raised about the potential misue of generative AI such as cybercrime, the use of fake news or deepfakes to deceive or manipulate people, and the mass replacement of human jobs. Intellectual property law concerns also exist around generative models that are trained on and emulate copyrighted works of art.

I am still here

 

I'm Still Here also gives a face to the horrors of the military regime, which lasted from 1964 to 1985, for new generations. However, not everyone in Brazil is cheering when the film is released. The radical right is even boycotting the film. Several social media accounts are calling on people not to watch the film, because it allegedly incorrectly portrays the military dictatorship. Such positions are not surprising, since the radical right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro is regularly critical of Rubens Paiva. The former soldier even claims that Paiva was not murdered by the military dictatorship. Bolsonaro himself is now being prosecuted for a possible coup attempt after losing the elections in 2022. This also makes I'm Still Here relevant as a historical portrait. The boycott of the radical right is of no avail. I'm Still Here is the most visited film in Brazil since the corona pandemic.

Whitecar project

 

 

The system was initially conceived in 1969 by Schimmelpennink in order to reduce traffic in central Amsterdam, but it failed to win the support of the City Council and was spun off to be developed by a specially formed co-operative society. The co-operative managed to raise loans of US$250,000 for the first phase through 1974. This included the design and construction of the vehicles, the purchase of a PDP-11 minicomputer for the central control system, development of the control software, and construction of the first 35 cars and five stations. A further 10 stations were scheduled for operation by the end of 1976, by which time the fleet was to have been extended to 100 vehicles. The ultimate target was 150 stations and 1,000 vehicles, but as a result of lack of government support this never happened.
