Japanese filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s latest feature, Evil Does Not Exist, leads this year’s Asia Pacific Screen Awards (Apsa) with four nods, including the gong for Best Film.
Hamaguchi’s nominations haul includes Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography for Yoshio Kitagawa. The film is Hamaguchi’s first film since his Oscar-winning Drive My Car and debuted at this year’s Venice Film Festival. The pic follows Takumi and his daughter Hana, who live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo. Like generations before them, they live a modest life according to the cycles and order of nature. A plan to construct a glamping site near Takumi’s house, offering city residents a comfortable “escape” to nature, threatens to endanger the ecological balance of the area and the local people’s way of life.
Also nominated in the Best Film category are Wim Wenders’s Perfect Days, Snow Leopard by Pema Tseden,...

Following the enormous critical and financial success in the local theaters, the release of “The Meg” in Chinese cinemas started a wave of similarly-produced creature features and animal-attack films to capitalize on the film's release. That has led to a steady stream of cheap, goofy creature features that remains popular churning out titles to this day which includes this effort from 2021 that takes its influence from the Australian film “Bait” from 2012.

New York, Feb 2 (Ians) Antarctic ice is melting, contributing massive amounts of water to the world's seas and causing them to rise, but that melt is not as linear and consistent as scientists previously thought, a new study suggests.
The analysis, of 20 years' worth of satellite data, shows that Antarctica's ice melts at different rates each year, meaning the models scientists use to predict coming sea level rise might also need adjusting.
"The ice sheet is not changing with a constant rate -- it's more complicated than a linear change," said lead author Lei Wang, Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University in the US.
The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is built on data from NASA's Grace (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment), a two-satellite mission that measures changes in the world's oceans, ground water and ice sheets.
