Apple releases trailer for its first TV+ doc 'The Elephant Queen'
Here's the official trailer for The Elephant Queen, a feature-length documentary arriving on Apple TV+ next month. The film, which actor Chiwetel Ejiofor narrates, follows the elephant matriarch Athena as she leads her family across the African savanna in search of a new home. The movie originally premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, followed by Sundance in 2019.
Apple TV+ is the tech giant's upcoming subscription-based streaming video service. It will be available to 100 countries starting November 1, and can be accessed not only on Apple devices, but also online. Subscriptions start at $4.99 per month but, if you buy a new iPhone or Apple TV, you get a year of service for free.
These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
Wire Cutters is an animated short about about two mining robots on a desolate planet. Created by Jack Anderson, the film has been featured in numerous festivals, was a finalist in the 2015 Student BAFTA Film Awards, and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Student Film at the Nashville Film Festival. The 9-minute flick, which took a year and a half to make, might feel like WALL-E in both its render style and character design, but it has a darker undertone, and the ending is quite unexpected.
