Poland’s Tauron American Film Festival will celebrate its 17th edition from Nov. 17-22 – and its industry sidebar U.S. in Progress will, once again, connect European buyers and Polish post-producers with American indie filmmakers. “I’ve attended three times, and each time something essential to the films came out of the experience. I was in a long-running competition with Pete Ohs for who could keep up the longest streak, which I ultimately lost,” laughs director Rob Rice.  Ohs ended up shooting Charli XCX-starring “Erupcja” in Poland. Rice collaborated with post-production studio XANF on “Ponderosa,” featuring Alexis Bledel and shown at Tribeca.  He…

How To Avoid Having AI Create More Managers Than Leaders At WorkgettyI have taught leadership courses for decades where my students often have to answer a simple question: What is the difference between being a leader and being a manager? There is never one correct answer, but many people describe leadership as being more strategic and management as being more tactical. AI has the potential to impact both roles, although probably not in the same way. As AI becomes better at organizing information, improving efficiency, and recommending next steps, it naturally strengthens many of the responsibilities managers perform every day.…

Erick the Architect is a founding member of, and the primary producer for, the legendary Flatbush Zombies. He’s toured the world, performed on Kimmel and Fallon, played Coachella, and collaborated with everyone from Joey Bada$$ and the Rza to James Blake and hardcore punk band Trash Talk.

Time may be more wobbly than we thoughtmavrixpixels/Shutterstock The most vexing question in physics right now is how general relativity – the laws that govern gravity and space-time on large scales – meshes with quantum mechanics, the laws that govern very small scales. There are many potential solutions, none proven, and so far very few of them have been conclusively ruled out either – or even rigorously investigated. Now, though, the day is approaching when one of those ideas could be put to the test. If it holds up, it could dramatically change our view of time. Most of the…
