SXSW (South by Southwest) has never operated within the traditional festival model. It doesn’t compete with the high-gloss of Cannes, the prestige of the Oscars, or the industry-fueled marketplace of Sundance. Instead, SXSW functions as a convergence zone—where tech, music, and media intersect with bold independent cinema. It’s where new directors, genre disruptors, and risk-taking creators bring their work to a deeply engaged audience that values originality over convention. The festival is often a testing ground for new narrative voices and experimental production strategies, which makes it particularly valuable when analyzing cinematographic choices. Here, filmmakers often operate outside studio systems and are free to choose their gear based on function, aesthetics, and necessity—not industry pressure or legacy optics. To accurately analyze what cameras powered SXSW 2025, we rely on data from IndieWire’s indispensable annual camera survey, which has become the most comprehensive look into production technology trends at major festivals.

Celebrity Big Brother UK is back after a more than five-year absence. The cast of the first season of ITV was revealed by Aj Odudu and Will Best during the live launch on, Monday, March 4.

ITV resurrected the Big Brother format in 2023 and following positive results announced a celebrity edition of the reality competition. The names of the contestants had been kept under wraps and weren’t officially revealed until the start of the show.

Sharon Osbourne was the first to enter the house and was tasked with putting three celebrities in the danger zone and would follow up with selecting one of them who would face eviction via the public vote. Big Brother reunited Osbourne with her The X-Factor UK co-star Louis Walsh, who would help her judge the housemates as they come in.

Other celebrity housemates included Love Island UK Season 8 and contestant of The Traitors US Season 2 Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu,...

In modern fandom, storytellers must engage a crucial demographic to succeed: the shippers. From genre fare like The Flash to more "grounded" series like The Rookie, storytellers want their audiences to be invested in character relationships. However, modern fandom and shipping culture owe the majority of their existence to the inferred romantic relationship between Captain Kirk and Mister Spock on Star Trek: The Original Series. And a million "Spirk" ships were launched with a comedy backrub.

Everything about Gene Roddenberry's 1960s TV series was unconventional, from the diverse cast to the fact Star Trek characters didn't smoke tobacco. The show enjoyed a passionate fanbase almost immediately yet never achieved the required ratings to be an unequivocal hit. It wasn't until the series ran in syndication for nearly a decade that Paramount realized its true reach. Before the first season even finished airing, zealous Trekkies created and published magazines typically...

“Ryan‘s turn to be robbed tonight,” a viewer stated, with another fan saying the decision “was tough” on him as “he’s been amazing” throughout the series.

“What a stitch up!!” another fan agreed, adding: “He was the best in all the other challenges!”

Earlier this week,...

Celebrity MasterChef contestant Adam Pearson issued an “apology” to viewers after he took part in the show.

Pearson, a presenter and disability advocate, competed on the BBC series alongside Coronation Street’s Ryan Thomas, Strictly pro Katya Jones, DJ Lisa Snowdown and Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott-Claus.

However, in Tuesday’s episode (30 August) of the cookery competition, Pearson, 37, was eliminated after messing up the chicken in his jambalaya.

Pearson, who was diagnsoed with neurofibromatosis type I when he was five years old, shared a video on Twitter after the episode aired, apologising to those he disappointed.

He said: “I know. I’m sorry, I know. You don’t have to tweet me, you don’t have to tell me, you don’t have to call me – I know.

“All my WhatsApp has been is disappointment from family. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Again, to reiterate, I know and I’m sorry.
