They built what? – The contemporary visual renaissance in the film industry

When was the last time you’ve seen a truly beautiful movie that took your breath away? When was the last time that you couldn’t get over a particular scene that gave you goosebumps every time you remembered it? If you’ve been to the cinema recently, similar feelings might have found you too. In the last couple of years, film enthusiasts were in luck because they could choose from memorable productions that brought back not just practical effects and built sets, but carefully designed costumes and vivid colouring to create immersive worlds often beyond imagination. Viewers once again could experience how much artistic work goes into making movies, apart from CGI and green screen.

Jane Goodall – A Legacy for a Better World

Jane Goodall died on 1 October 2025 at the age of 91. Her fieldwork in Africa was fundamental in changing prevalent preconceptions of the community of chimpanzees, and she passionately advocated for wildlife preservation. She inspired later generations of young women, through her passion for animals, to pursue careers in the area of primatology and founded several programmes to bring attention to nature preservation and to encourage young people to take part in her mission. Her legacy serves as a reminder to recognize our fundamental connections to nature and animals.
