    Director Terrence Malick’s Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The American auteur’s documentary debut, Voyage of Time will screen in two formats at the festival.

    Narrated by Brad Pitt, Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience is an ambitious 45-minute celebration of life, the history of the universe and its awe-inspiring vastness. An extraordinary giant-screen journey that spans galaxies and eons, the film will join the three other titles that will be shown in IMAX at the Festival.

    “We are thrilled that TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival] audiences will be the first to experience the first documentary of this film visionary in glorious IMAX,” said TIFF director and CEO, Piers Handling. “It’s an honor to have the world and North American Premieres of the two versions of Malick’s magnum opus, one of the most remarkable cinematic experiences of the year.”

    The standard film version of the documentary, Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey, the 90-minute cut narrated by Cate Blanchett, was previously announced to have its North American Premiere at TIFF. The presentations of the IMAX and standard films give Toronto audiences a unique opportunity to watch two artistic interpretations from one of the world’s most visionary filmmakers.

    Working with a team of scientific advisors and visual effects artists led by Dan Glass (The Tree of Life, Batman Begins, The Matrix Reloaded), the film in its two formats shows an array of natural phenomena–celestial and terrestrial, macroscopic and microscopic–in a variety of new ways.

    The 41st Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8-18.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
