Now that cult directors like Christopher Nolan endorse the creations of YouTubers like Curry Barker and Kane Parsons – directors, respectively, of two horror films that are making a splash, Obsession and Backrooms – and others like Radu Jude highlight the explosion of creativity they find on TikTok instead of in cinema, it may be easier to look without prejudice at the broad world of content creators and recognize the possibilities of their new languages. In any case, there are awards that for five years have recognized the most relevant influencers, the Ídolo awards, organized by one of their most visible faces, Aida Domènech (Badalona, 1989), better known as Dulceida.

The New Zealand actor Sam Neill passed away this Monday at the age of 78. The actor’s family, especially remembered for his leading roles in Jurassic Park and The Piano, explained through a statement shared on social media that Neill’s death in Sydney was “sudden and unexpected” without specifying the reasons. “Sam was surrounded by his family and passed away with the dignity that characterized his entire life,” his family wrote.
