Winds of Change in Chile’s Film and TV Landscape

Anna Marie de la Fuente It’s a new dawn for Chile’s audiovisual industry. When Gabriel Boric, Chile’s youngest (at 35) and most left-leaning president since Salvador Allende, was elected in December, his pledge to more than double the state’s contribution to the arts was greeted with great fanfare.After all, Chile’s prodigious film output this past decade has been remarkable despite the scant public support it has received.“If everything we have achieved in the last 10 years was done with so little money, imagine what we can achieve with an increase in audiovisual funding!” says Constanza Arena, executive director of Chile’s film promotion org, CinemaChile.In recent years, Chile has triumphed at the Oscars, starting when Pablo Larraín’s “No” was nominated for international feature in 2012, and culminating in an Oscar win for Sebastian Lelio’s “A Fantastic Woman” in 2017.

NASA fume at Elon Musk's plans to fill our skies with 30,000 Starlink satellites

NASA have said they are "worried" that Elon Musk may be launching too many satellites.The billionaire owner of carmaker Tesla and space exploration company SpaceX plans to deploy about 30,000 satellites for his Starlink satellite project, which would give broadband internet access to most people on Earth.The firm had previously received authorisation for about 12,000 satellites to go up into space — but now NASA boffins are worried that the orbiting structures could get in the way of future space missions. Writing to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) telecommunications regulator, the space agency said: "NASA has concerns with the potential for a significant increase in the frequency of conjunction events and possible impacts to NASA’s science and human spaceflight missions."Making their worries about SpaceX clear, they added that SpaceX’s Gen2 expansion "would more than double the number of tracked objects in orbit and increase the number of objects below 600 km over five-fold".
