Snippet: Once upon a time, a sports sponsorship in the Gulf meant a logo on a football shirt. Today, the region’s clubs, athletes and sporting events are becoming valuable platforms for global brands, and the partnerships are as much about culture, influence and international reach as they are about sport.

Snippet: For a while, Japanese cultural exports seemed to specialize in making people feel better. Marie Kondo taught us to “spark joy” in our housekeeping. “Terrace House” offered a softer, slower version of reality TV where drama often hinged on a glance across a kitchen. And Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons gave millions of gamers a quiet place to spend the pandemic.

Snippet: ‘What struck me was that it wasn’t a huge story. It was a very small story. But it represented what happened that day in a deeply human way,” said Haley Geffen, the award-winning American director of the documentary Safe Room, which will be shown on August 17 at the National Library of Israel as part of the DocuText Festival, which runs until August 20.

Snippet: The best film of 2016 was a stylish homage to old school Hollywood and a Los Angeles lost to time. A love letter to a type of movie they don’t make any more, brought to life with a brilliant original soundtrack, rapid-fire dialogue, and a star-studded cast led by Ryan Gosling.

Snippet: We have become remarkably good at watching war. It floods our screens sandwiched between entertainment and advertisement, competes for the same attention as everything else, and loses. Never have we had such constant exposure to human suffering, yet it has become increasingly difficult for many to truly absorb it. Perhaps we need art to do what the news cannot: to put us inside the experience rather than in front of it.

Snippet: During the 2010s, Tetsuya Nakashima felt like the closest thing Japan had to its own Nicolas Winding Refn, a purveyor of violent, hyperstylized nihilism that somehow managed to command a mainstream audience. With “The Brightest Sun,” his first film in eight years, the boundary-pushing director of “Confessions” (2010) and “The World of Kanako” (2014) offers his boldest provocation yet: hope.
