The Week’s Spotlight
Pop Impact: Impact takes center stage at the Tribeca Film Festival. New York in June is for the love of cinema, as some 150,000 film buffs fan out around the city for the annual Tribeca Film Festival. This year’s festival featured more than 200 screenings, as well as a storytelling summit, a pitch competition and a gaming showcase. One film entrant, “Dreams of Violets,” a feature-length documentary about the civil resistance of Iranians, was entirely generated by AI. Other films challenged viewers to think about social issues such as disability inclusion, women’s rights and aging. ImpactAlpha contributing editor Dmitriy Ioselevich was on the scene with the auteurs of culture as well as cinema.
