4. Cash and Credit/Debit Cards

Coachella is a cashless event, and all transactions are done through credit or debit cards. Therefore, it is crucial to bring your credit or debit card to pay for food, drinks, and other items. However, it is advisable to carry some cash with you in case of emergencies or if the card payment system experiences technical difficulties.

5. Portable Charger and Power Bank

Coachella is a long event that lasts for several days, and you need to ensure that your phone is charged at all times to capture photos and videos and to stay connected with your friends. Therefore, you should bring a portable charger and power bank to keep your phone charged throughout the event.

6. Water Bottle

It’s crucial to stay hydrated during Coachella, especially during the hot daytime hours. You should bring a refillable water bottle that you can refill at the water stations located throughout the festival grounds.

The 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards, taking place this afternoon at the Santa Monica Pier, made history by introducing new gender-neutral acting categories in film and television.

Hosted by comedian Hassan Minhaj, the awards show is the 38th annual awards show and introduces new categories to more fully celebrate talent. 

The choice to create gender-neutral acting categories is a significant step toward honoring talent based on merit rather than gender. It’s a step in the right direction toward equality, diversity, and inclusivity, and other award shows will probably take note.

The budgetary limit for eligible films was increased from $22.5 million to $30 million in addition to the categories for gender-neutral acting. This modification will enable a wider range of movies, including those with higher budgets, to be recognized.

Going forward, the John Cassavetes Award will go to the most innovative crew in a film with a budget of $1 million or less. This change ensures that even low-budget productions are eligible for certification. 

Film Independent, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting diversity in independent film and the film industry, invites its members to vote in the Spirit Awards. The event serves as a platform for new talent and celebrates the best in independent filmmaking.

Best Female Lead went to Olivia Colman for her role in “The Lost Daughter,” while Best Male Lead went to Simon Rex for his performance in “Red Rocket.”

The Best Supporting Female award went to Jessie Buckley for “The Lost Daughter,” while Best Supporting Male went to Kodi Smit-McPhee for “The Power of the Dog.” The Best Screenplay award went to Jane Campion for “The Power of the Dog,” while Best First Feature went to “Aftersun” by Charlotte Colbert.

In the TV category, the Best New Scripted Series award went to “The White Lotus,” while Best Female Performance in a New Scripted Series went to Jennifer Coolidge for her role in the same show. Best Male Performance in a New Scripted Series went to Michael Greyeyes for his role in “Rutherford Falls.”

The 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards have set a new standard for inclusivity and diversity in the industry. 

The introduction of gender-neutral acting categories and the changes to the budgetary caps demonstrate a commitment to recognizing talent based on merit and not on gender or budget. It is an exciting time for independent cinema, and the future looks bright for emerging talent.

On Saturday, February 12, Carnegie Hall in New York will kickstart its 2022 Afrofuturism Festival in honor of Black History Month. It comes with a live performance from award-winning record producer, DJ, and rapper Flying Lotus.

With creative activities planned until April 3, the celebration is composed of over 80 live and virtual festivities—counting in visual arts and technology exposition, film screenings and committee deliberation that will be offered by over 70 cultural institutions in partnership—Apollo Theater, The Metropolitan Museum of Arts, The National Black Theatre, and The Africa Center included.

Musical presentations will be rendered by Sun Ra Arkestra with Kelsey Lu and Moor Mother, Nicole Mitchell and Angel Bat Dawid, Chimurenga Renaissance and Fatuomata Diawara, the Car Craig Synthesizer Ensemble and Theo Croker, in the weeks to come.

Mere days prior to showtime, headliner Flying Lotus and Adriaan Fuchs, director of festivals and special projects at Carnegie Hall, were interviewed by the media. Both spoke about the importance of Afrofuturism and the significance of the Afrofuturism Festival.

Fuchs said, “With each of the festivals we do at Carnegie Hall, we rely on external advisors to provide us with the expertise in terms of artists we should be booking and partnering organizations that should be involved.”

“We turned to a team of five incredible Afrofuturism advisors—Reynaldo Anderson, King James Britt, Louis Chude-Sokei, Sheree Renée Thomas, and Ytasha L. Womack—and they have been shaping this festival for the last two years,” he added.

“Plans got derailed because of the pandemic,” he confessed. “But we really wanted to include both legacy artists that have been at the forefront of Afrofuturism and the new torch bearers of the genre.”

The concert is another blessing in Flying Lotus’ already booming career. “With where my music is heading currently, this feels very appropriate.”

“[Carnegie Hall] is a different atmosphere for the things I’ve been doing and it’s an opportunity for me to move in a new direction musically that is fitting,” he adds. “I have so much music in my catalog that I couldn’t play at a normal music festival because people want to dance and party. With this, everyone will be sitting down, so it will fall into more of a cerebral experience.”

Among 80 festival events, Fuchs stated that he’s specifically expecting the online Afrofuturist Writing deliberation between highly regarded authors Samuel R. Delany and Namwali Serpell, with Smaran Daval as moderator. The commemoration will be hosted by Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America.
