SXSW Film Review: For Worse

Does two movies make a trend? Does it have to be three?

SXSW Film Review: Assembly

Rashaad Newsome’s art exists in a space that plays with surrealism, futurism, and resistance. The multidisciplinary artist has created video works, collage, and sculpture, but in Assembly, we follow Newsome as he prepares for an ambitious exhibit of the same name that controversially incorporates artificial intelligence.
