Belly credits two of the biggest rappers of all time — Biggie Smalls and P. Diddy — for inspiring his rap career.
In the Palestinian-Canadian rapper’s new song “Ambiance”, off his upcoming album Mumble Rap 2, he raps: “I’m Biggie and Puff combined, at least that’s what I feel like.” While chatting with Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman in a new interview, we asked Belly if he really feels that way.
“I was raised on Biggie and Puff, you know. So I think I took a little bit from each one of them when it came time to come out as my own artist,” the 39-year-old said, elaborating that he took “Puff’s influence on the business side of what I do. And Big’s influence on the music side of what I do.”

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film and TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: If you could force Donald J. Trump to watch one movie for any reason (whether to educate him, torture him, amuse him, etc.), what would it be and why?
Tomris Laffly (@TomiLaffly), Film Journal, Film School Rejects
Can you really educate Trump through cinema? I think not. Put this year’s devastating trio of Syrian documentaries in front of him, and he’d say, “those people, including children, get what they deserve.” Make him watch a climate change film, and he’d call it fake news. For crying out loud, expose his eyeballs to “Finding Dory” and he’d probably mock poor Dory...

Swedish director Anders Weberg has taken ‘slow cinema’ to a new level with the preview for his latest film, Ambiancé. Can’t get enough of this snippet? The next preview will be 72 hours long …
Ok, here is the elevator pitch: We are on a beach. The sea just visible on the right-hand side of the frame. Low camera angle. Black and white. Ghostly flickers superimposed over the main image. A synthesiser chord on the soundtrack. Nothing happens for about 12 minutes. Then we see a black dot and a white dot at the far end of the beach. They are people dressed in robes, walking towards us. In slow motion. By about 20 minutes in, they are near us, gathering debris on the beach. Wait – we are at the ground floor already? But we have only just got started!
There are another seven hours to go, in fact. Though not a lot else happens,...

As we complain about runtimes creeping over 2.5 hours for studio tentpoles, we can at least rest easy that Zack Snyder isn’t planning a 720-hour version of Batman v Superman. Though, if you’re in the mood to sit through a feature that long, Anders Weberg, a Swedish artist and filmmaker, is now out to claim the world record with his upcoming experimental project Ambiancé. Running 30 days, it won’t premiere until 2020, but he’s now released the second trailer, which clocks in at 7 hours and 20 minutes (following a measly 72-minute teaser a few years back).
Filmed at Hovs Hallar in the south of Sweden (where Ingmar Bergman famously captured the iconic chess game scene in Seventh Seal), it features two performance artists, one beach, and no cuts (take that, Iñárritu!). As for the final film, it’s described as “space and time is intertwined into a surreal dream-like journey beyond places.

The words “teaser trailer” are generally associated with the familiar notion of a video advertisement for an upcoming film that lasts for a minute or less. For example, the first teaser trailer for The Dark Knight was one minute in length and featured nothing but the voices of the stars.
But for Swedish filmmaker Anders Weberg, one minute isn’t nearly enough to tease his upcoming film Ambiancé. Ambiancé, a 720-hour film, is Weberg’s attempt to break the world record for the longest film ever made, and the first teaser trailer for Ambiancé is 72 minutes long.

Promo precedes 30-day-long Swedish movie Ambiancé, a surreal dream-like epic due for release in 2020
A Swedish film-maker hoping to break the world record for the longest film of all time has released a 72-minute teaser trailer.
Anders Weberg hopes the near-feature-length promo will serve to whet audience appetites for his proposed 720-hour movie marathon, titled Ambiancé, which will be released in 2020. The director plans to release two further "trailers", one 7 hours and 20 minutes long and a second 72 hours long, in 2016 and 2018 before the final film debuts in its extended glory.
