This year’s Academy Award season already includes plenty of firsts due to the pandemic-related circumstances surrounding the ceremony, but one film’s presence among the early Oscar contenders is particularly noteworthy: Welcome to Chechnya . Director David France’s documentary chronicles the antigay purges in the Russian republic of Chechnya and the efforts of activists working to rescue victims. While it’s no surprise the powerful film is a potential nominee in the Oscars’ Best Documentary Feature category, Welcome to Chechnya is also the first documentary to be on the shortlist of contenders in the Best Visual Effects category, thanks to the method it used to protect the identities of people featured in the film. In order to strike a balance between protecting Welcome to Chechnya ‘s interview subjects and preserving the emotional resonance of their experiences, France and visual effects supervisor Ryan Laney combined digital face-replacement, machine-learning software … [Read more...] about How the Welcome to Chechnya documentary found security in face-swapping VFX

While we still don’t have an Intel Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K CPU to use for testing, Intel Z590 boards have been rolling in. So while we await benchmark results, we’ll be walking in detail through the features of these brand-new boards. First up on our bench was the ASRock Z590 Steel Legend 6E Wi-Fi , followed by the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master and Gigabyte’s Z590 Vision G . Today, we take a close look at the MSI MEG Z590 Ace. We’ll have to wait for benchmark results, though, to see if it deserves a spot on our best motherboards list.

Nintendo might join Sony and Microsoft in the next-gen console market sooner than expected. On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that the company has asked Samsung to start mass production on a 7-inch OLED display meant for a new version of the Switch. The current version of the Switch debuted in March 2017 . Nintendo updated the console with a brighter display in 2019, and introduced the Nintendo Switch Lite handheld that same year, but on the whole it’s still a three-year-old console.
