Sony is expanding its long-term commitment to the cinema industry with the development of RIALTO 65, a new 65mm format1 capable image sensor block for the VENICE 2, targeting release in the first half of 2027. Designed to extend the capabilities of the VENICE 2 platform, the new sensor reinforces Sony’s focus on supporting cinematographers with flexible, future-ready tools. When paired with existing VENICE 2 camera bodies, RIALTO 65 effectively transforms the system into a 65mm format1 digital cinema platform, preserving compatibility with the current VENICE 2 ecosystem.

Pride Month is observed every June to commemorate the Stonewall uprising of June 1969 and to celebrate the lives, achievements, and resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and other sexual- and gender-diverse people (LGBTQ+). What began as a spontaneous protest against police raids and systemic injustice in New York City has grown into a global movement that blends celebration with political advocacy, cultural visibility, and community care. On 28 June 1969, patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village resisted a police raid, and the confrontations that followed sparked several days of protests that helped galvanize an organized LGBTQ+ rights movement. The first Pride marches took place in June 1970; over decades, Pride evolved from protest to a mix of commemorative marches, parades, festivals, and education campaigns. While Stonewall is central to many Pride narratives, it is important to recognise that LGBTQ+ resistance and cultural expressi...

  As South Africa commemorates Youth Month, now is the ideal time to reinforce the importance of safety and security, particularly among teenagers and young adults who are often more vulnerable to crime and harmful influences. “June is a month in which we honour the bravery and sacrifices made by the youth of 1976 in shaping the future of South Africa. While we remember the past, we must also focus on building a safer and more secure future for the next generation,” says Charnel Hattingh, Group Head of Marketing and Communications at Fidelity Services Group. Parents, guardians, educators, and communities all have an important role to play in teaching young people how to stay safe and respond appropriately in difficult situations. Creating an environment where children and teenagers feel comfortable discussing their fears, concerns, and experiences is essential. “Young people need to know that there are trustworthy adults who are willing and able to help them in times of need. Do yo...
