Jafar Panahi named Asian Filmmaker of the Year at Busan International Film Festival
Renowned Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, known for world cinema classics like "The White Balloon", "Offside", "The Circle" and "3 Faces", has been named the 'Asian Filmmaker of the Year' by the Busan International Film Festival. The award is presented to an Asian film figure or organization that has made the most significant contribution to the development of the Asian film industry and culture. (Also read: Cannes Film Festival: Jafar Panahi wins Palme d'Or for It Was Just an Accident, Sentimental Value gets Grand Prix) Iranian director, screenwriter and producer Jafar Panahi recently won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. (Photo by Steven Markham / AFP)(AFP) Panahi is a revered figure in the international cinema community but in Iran he has consistently faced restrictions for his art. He was imprisoned three years ago and went on a hunger strike. Despite obstacles, Panahi has continued to make films be it 'This Is Not a Film', which he made in his living room while under house arrest or 'Taxi', which was set in a car. Official statement "As a towering figure in Iranian cinema, the director has explored the existence and freedom of individuals living amid censorship and political repression. Capturing the political and social contradictions of Iranian society from a countercultural perspective, he has continued to create films in secret, courageously submitting them to international film festivals despite repeated arrests, custody, detention, travel bans, and a stated-imposed filmmaking ban," BIFF said in their release. "At a time when making films in my country becomes more difficult every day, this recognition reminds me that cinema can still connect us beyond borders, languages, and limitations. I not only accept this award in my own name, but also on behalf of all those who, in silence, in exile, or under pressure, continue to create," Panahi said in his statement to the festival. The filmmaker's "It was Just an Accident" won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. Panahi won Venice festival's Golden Lion for 'The Circle' in 2002 and the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival for 'Taxi' in 2015. The filmmaker's accomplishments also include Locarno's Golden Leopard for 'The Mirror' in 1997 and Cannes' screenplay prize for '3 Faces' in 2018. Panahi will be receiving the award at the festival's opening ceremony, scheduled on September 17. The festival will run till September 26. (via PTI inputs)

Vidya Balan says she's ‘shamelessly optimistic' amid acting break: 'Insecurity of not being seen does not weigh me down'
Vidya Balan is in no rush to return to the screen, and she's completely at peace with it. In an interview with THR India, the actor opened up about taking a step back from work and whether the thought of not being seen ever causes insecurity or panic. She also talked about exercising the luxury of choice lately, where she enjoyed being at home and having fun while making reels. Vidya Balan expressed contentment in taking a break from acting, feeling no insecurity in a new interview. (AFP) I have so much self-belief, says Vidya Balan 'I think I am shamelessly optimistic. I have so much self-belief. I have put myself out there at my biggest and not batted an eyelid. I've had people tell me I should work on myself, that I should shed weight. But I actually believe there is nothing wrong with me. And I think that is a great attitude because it helped me sail through. I was still playing the lead, so I don't think those kinds of insecurities have ever weighed me down," Vidya said. Her unshakable self-assurance has carried her through years in an industry often obsessed with appearance. And now, for the first time in years, Vidya said she is embracing a stress-free phase. "For the first time in my life, I am not experiencing stress. Knowingly or unknowingly, we go through a lot of stress. I am enjoying this period. I am reading scripts, meeting people, and I have decided on two films. Unfortunately, I am not able to talk about it right now," Vidya said. Vidya Balan's latest projects Vidya Balan was last seen in the 2024 blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, where she starred alongside Kartik Aaryan and Madhuri Dixit.

Why Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala look is trending in 2025? Old clips spark wild ‘royal robot' conspiracy theory
The British royal family is no stranger to bizarre conspiracy theories, but the latest one might be the strangest of all time. Princess Beatrice, daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is now the subject of online speculation after old clips from her 2018 Met Gala appearance began making the rounds again, with netizens questioning if she's a human or a royal robot. Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala clips spark wild conspiracy theory Out of nowhere, multiple clips from Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala red carpet walk have popped up across TikTok, X, and Reddit. In the videos, she's seen arriving in a regal, floor-length deep purple gown with a high waistline, subtle beading, and a matching jewel-encrusted headband. Her hair is slicked back into a neat low bun, and her makeup is soft and understated, very much on the demure side for an event known for theatrical excess. But what caught people's attention wasn't the dress or the styling. It was the way she stood so perfectly still, holding a fixed expression, barely blinking as cameras flashed. Some viewers claim she doesn't move her mouth or eyes at all for several seconds, making the footage feel unsettling and oddly stiff. These clips might have gone unnoticed back in 2018, but in today's hyper-online culture, they've been dubbed suspicious enough to spark 'Is she a robot?' debates. Princess Beatrice, the elder daughter of Prince Andrew. Do you notice anything? So, not sure what's up with Prince Andrew's daughter, but I jokingly call those MK ULTRA eyes when I see them in the this situation, not sure it's a joke with Princess Beatrice. Look into her eyes! 👀 🤯 'Is that a robot?' Internet reacts to uncanny Beatrice footage One user wrote, 'Is this actually her? It looks like a robot in a Beatrice mask. No mouth or face movement at all. Unnatural eye movement and a partial blink that goes about halfway.' Another added, 'You mean besides the robotic movements and Chucky expression frozen on her face?' A third simply asked, 'Is that a robot? Serious question. This is eerie shit.' Is this actually her? It looks like a robot in a Beatrice mask. No mouth or face movement at all. Unnatural eye movement and a partial blink that goes about halfway You mean besides the robotic movements and Chucky expression frozen on her face? Is that a robot? Serious question. This is eerie shit. Of course, not everyone jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon. Some viewers defended Beatrice, saying she might have been overwhelmed by the cameras and was simply trying too hard to hold a pose. I pulled up a different video, and it's definitely not a robot....I think she was just trying waaaaaay too hard not to blink for the I notice a beautiful lady IN HER OWN UNIQUE WAY‼️ First of all WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU TO MOCK & BULLY HER,she lives quietly & doesn't seek attention at all, 2nd of all ITS NOT HER FAULT SHE WAS BORN IN THE RF & Andrew as her father‼️ Who is Princess Beatrice? Born in 1988, Princess Beatrice is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Though she's ninth in line to the throne, she's mostly kept a low profile compared to her cousins William and Harry. Over the years, she's become known for her charity work, support of dyslexia awareness, and occasional headline-grabbing fashion choices. She married property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private 2020 ceremony, and the couple shares two daughters, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.
