Upon finding himself confronted by his rapidly ailing grandmother whose Alzheimer’s had been more or less covered up by her husband, filmmaker Raphaël Pettigrew decided to further explore the idea of losing oneself for the sake of others in the making of his NYU Tisch Undergraduate project I Remember (Je Me Souviens). There is no room to escape the grief pulsating through Pettigrew’s close, near suffocating camera work and single shots relentlessly honing in on his actors’ faces. I Remember is as close, personal and claustrophobic as they come with dual agonising family based storylines interweaving to amplify the intense thematic exploration of loss. We invited Pettigrew to speak to us about harnessing his own feelings of hopelessness and desperation through his grieving son protagonist, placing his trust in his actors as he found new meaning and engagement in their improvisation, and adopting a naturalistic cinema verite approach...

Rapper Roddy Ricch is the victor in a legal battle that claimed his highest-charting megahit “The Box” infringed on the copyright of a 1975 soul song titled “Come on Down.” In a biting ruling, a Manhattan-based federal judge found that “no reasonable jury could find that the works are substantially similar.”

“The (plaintiff’s) musical composition is a soul song that contains a melodic tune, while ‘The Box’ is a hip-hop song delivered in a monotone rap,” U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres wrote in her eight-page ruling obtained by Rolling Stone.
