The Visual Effects Society Awards were handed out during a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, April 6. “The Midnight Sky” won the Ves equivalent of the Best Picture race – Best Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature. It bested Oscar frontrunner “Tenet” in that category, as well as “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” “Project Power” and “The Witches.” George Clooney‘s sci-fi drama won an additional prize for Best Model in a Photoreal of Animated Project. Scroll down for a complete list of winners and nominees at the 2021 Visual Effects Society Awards.

That award went to “The Lion King,” which lost at the Oscars to Sam Mendes‘ WWI epic. “1917” did compete at the Visual Effects Society for Best Supporting Visual Effects,...

Germany has become the latest country to allow a proportion of its cinemas to re-open as authorities begin to relax the nation’s coronavirus lockdown.
The federal government has outlined a gradual easing of restrictions but the decisions are being made on a regional level, with the worst hit areas such as Bavaria unlikely to allow venues to re-open for a while.
Hessen (Hesse in English), a central German state which has a little over six million inhabitants and includes the cities of Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, has become the first region to allow cinemas to open their doors and welcome back members of the public as of today (May 15), albeit under coronavirus preventative conditions.
The region has 346 screens (as of 2019), but the majority of those are staying shut, with several operators saying it simply isn’t viable to re-open under the current conditions, particularly considering the max occupancy rate of...
