The 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, set to begin soon, are facing scrutiny regarding their sustainability efforts, while the Sundance Film Festival saw a covertly-made Iranian film take home an award. Additionally, several film reviews have been released, including one for an environmentally conscious animated film and another for a heartwarming Scottish fable.
The Winter Olympics, scheduled for February 2026, are raising questions about their environmental impact. According to NPR, the games were "meant to be sustainable," but the reality is being assessed. The host city of Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, is already showcasing its commitment to the event with a sculpture of an elegant lady clutching a Dior handbag and skis, as noted by NPR.
Meanwhile, the Sundance Film Festival celebrated independent cinema, including a feature film secretly filmed in Iran. The film, which won a jury award for ensemble cast, was smuggled out of the country, as reported by NPR.
In the world of film reviews, Variety released reviews of several new movies. One review focused on "Arco," an Oscar-nominated French animated film that tells an environmentally conscious sci-fi story, produced by Natalie Portman. Another review covered "The Incomer," a Scottish isle fable starring Domhnall Gleeson.
NPR journalists are also reporting on the upcoming Olympics, including coverage of Lindsey Vonn's comeback, Chloe Kim's shoulder injury, and the U.S. men's hockey team's pursuit of gold, according to NPR News.
