Ethio telecom, Djibouti Telecom, and Sudatel Group Advance Horizon Fiber Initiative with International Partners Through Pre-Commercialization Workshop
Ethio telecom, in partnership with Djibouti Telecom and Sudatel Group, has successfully hosted a high-level stakeholders' workshop to advance the pre-commercialisation phase of the Horizon Cross-Border Terrestrial Fiber Initiative. Formalized under a robust consortium framework, the secure corridor connects Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Sudan, offering global carriers and hyperscalers a highly reliable, low-latency alternative route for subsea cable traffic across the Red Sea.
Held in Addis Ababa, the workshop focused intensely on the commercial and technical requirements of the high-capacity terrestrial fiber corridor being developed across the region. Engineered with a fully protected, redundant architecture, the route seamlessly links cable landing stations in Djibouti and Port Sudan via Ethiopia, featuring expert network architecture insights from Ciena, Nokia, and BringCom.
The successful gathering convened leading global technology and connectivity organizations, including Google, Meta (via HIPConsult), Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Airtel Africa, Bayobab, WIOCC, Nokia, Ciena, center3, Saudi Vision, and China Mobile International. During these strategic sessions, participating partners and global operators expressed strong interest in leveraging and monetizing the multi-terabit capabilities of the Horizon Fiber corridor.
Jointly developed by the three telecom leaders, the Horizon initiative provides robust data transport, colocation, and hosting services with seamless landing access in Djibouti and Sudan. Designed for high-speed performance and resilience, Horizon empowers next-generation workloads like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, fintech, e-commerce, and digital content delivery.
Ultimately, this milestone showcases how pioneering African operators unite their infrastructure, expertise, and regional reach to shape a more interconnected and digitally empowered future for the continent.

Ethiopia’s Great Friend:
In Memory of Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi
Italian scholar and human rights advocate
His wife, Mrs. Sara Yemane, and their son, Caleb Giorgi, are working to preserve and continue his legacy.
#ethiopia | The renowned Italian scholar, Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi (M.D.), who dedicated many years of his life in Africa and Ethiopia through his medical profession, authorship, and humanitarian activities, helping vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, passed away at the age of 81 on June 17, 2024.
During his distinguished 45-year professional career, Professor Bossi volunteered medical services across 42 African countries. He was a specialist in Orthopedics (bone and musculoskeletal medicine) and Dermatology (skin medicine).
He made a significant contribution to securing major funding for the construction of a large hospital in Sudan built by Italian organizations.
In Ethiopia, where he served for nearly twenty years, he played a key role in establishing Adama General Hospital and served as its first director.
Additionally, he worked as an orthopedic specialist at Danu Hospital and in the Emergency Department of Abet Hospital. Every year, he traveled from Italy to Woliso Hospital, where he provided extensive surgical services free of charge.
Professor Enrico was a true symbol of humanity, treating all people equally regardless of race, language, skin color, or religion. During the Kosovo War in Europe, he gave up an entire year’s salary to provide free medical services in the war zone. Likewise, during the Ethio-Eritrean War, he was among the first five Italian medical professionals who flew by helicopter to the conflict area to provide humanitarian assistance.
In Milan, Italy, he founded the medical center known as “NAGA,” where he provided free healthcare services to African immigrants and migrants from other countries, particularly those lacking legal documentation or financial means.
While many people refer to their homeland as their “fatherland” or “motherland,” Professor Bossi’s love for Ethiopia was so profound that he proudly referred to it as “the country of my son, Caleb.”
A dedicated researcher of Ethiopian history, culture, and military history, Professor Bossi authored and published more than 46 books in English and Italian.
Among his notable works are:
The History of Imperial Ethiopian Army
Destas Yirs and Life 1892–1937
Aethiopia la Moneta Africana
His work helped introduce Ethiopia’s role as the birthplace of coffee to the wider world. He also authored historical works documenting the end of the Era of the Princes (Zemene Mesafint).
Professor Bossi was not only a scholar, physician, military officer, and author, but also a translator and artist. At the Catholic University of Milan, he translated and published The Little Prince in 55 international languages and contributed remarkable artistic and illustrative works.
Although death unexpectedly separated him from his beloved wife, Mrs. Sara Yemane, and his son, Caleb Giorgi, the remarkable legacy he left behind will remain alive far beyond his grave.
To preserve Professor Bossi’s legacy, his wife and son are working to complete and publish two previously unpublished manuscripts. These extensive works, each consisting of approximately 500 pages, focus on Ethiopian subjects and were left unfinished by the professor.
The professor used to say that the chapter of his love for Ethiopia was revealed—and indeed began—with his wife and his child. Based on this, his family is actively working either to open a museum in Ethiopia bearing his name or to donate his works, along with various personal artifacts and items, to the Ethiopian National Museum.
It is hoped that the Ethiopian Heritage Authority will undertake initiatives to honor and commemorate Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi’s life, work, and invaluable contributions to the nation and its people.
May his memory and contributions continue to inspire future generations.

Ethiopia’s Great Friend:
In Memory of Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi
Italian scholar and human rights advocate
His wife, Mrs. Sara Yemane, and their son, Caleb Giorgi, are working to preserve and continue his legacy.
#ethiopia | The renowned Italian scholar, Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi (M.D.), who dedicated many years of his life in Africa and Ethiopia through his medical profession, authorship, and humanitarian activities, helping vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, passed away at the age of 81 on June 17, 2024.
During his distinguished 45-year professional career, Professor Bossi volunteered medical services across 42 African countries. He was a specialist in Orthopedics (bone and musculoskeletal medicine) and Dermatology (skin medicine).
He made a significant contribution to securing major funding for the construction of a large hospital in Sudan built by Italian organizations.
In Ethiopia, where he served for nearly twenty years, he played a key role in establishing Adama General Hospital and served as its first director.
Additionally, he worked as an orthopedic specialist at Danu Hospital and in the Emergency Department of Abet Hospital. Every year, he traveled from Italy to Woliso Hospital, where he provided extensive surgical services free of charge.
Professor Enrico was a true symbol of humanity, treating all people equally regardless of race, language, skin color, or religion. During the Kosovo War in Europe, he gave up an entire year’s salary to provide free medical services in the war zone. Likewise, during the Ethio-Eritrean War, he was among the first five Italian medical professionals who flew by helicopter to the conflict area to provide humanitarian assistance.
In Milan, Italy, he founded the medical center known as “NAGA,” where he provided free healthcare services to African immigrants and migrants from other countries, particularly those lacking legal documentation or financial means.
While many people refer to their homeland as their “fatherland” or “motherland,” Professor Bossi’s love for Ethiopia was so profound that he proudly referred to it as “the country of my son, Caleb.”
A dedicated researcher of Ethiopian history, culture, and military history, Professor Bossi authored and published more than 46 books in English and Italian.
Among his notable works are:
The History of Imperial Ethiopian Army
Destas Yirs and Life 1892–1937
Aethiopia la Moneta Africana
His work helped introduce Ethiopia’s role as the birthplace of coffee to the wider world. He also authored historical works documenting the end of the Era of the Princes (Zemene Mesafint).
Professor Bossi was not only a scholar, physician, military officer, and author, but also a translator and artist. At the Catholic University of Milan, he translated and published The Little Prince in 55 international languages and contributed remarkable artistic and illustrative works.
Although death unexpectedly separated him from his beloved wife, Mrs. Sara Yemane, and his son, Caleb Giorgi, the remarkable legacy he left behind will remain alive far beyond his grave.
To preserve Professor Bossi’s legacy, his wife and son are working to complete and publish two previously unpublished manuscripts. These extensive works, each consisting of approximately 500 pages, focus on Ethiopian subjects and were left unfinished by the professor.
The professor used to say that the chapter of his love for Ethiopia was revealed—and indeed began—with his wife and his child. Based on this, his family is actively working either to open a museum in Ethiopia bearing his name or to donate his works, along with various personal artifacts and items, to the Ethiopian National Museum.
It is hoped that the Ethiopian Heritage Authority will undertake initiatives to honor and commemorate Professor Colonel Enrico Piero Bossi’s life, work, and invaluable contributions to the nation and its people.
May his memory and contributions continue to inspire future generations.

*በጣም ጠንከር ያላለ ፍራሽና የወገብ ህመም (በመረጃ ላይ የተመረኮዘ)*
የወገብ ክፍል ላይ የሚሰማ ህመም በብዙ ሰው ላይ የሚታይ ችግር ሲሆን መልካም እንቅልፍ ከህመሙ ለማገገም ጥሩ ሚና ይጫወታል።
መልካም እንቅልፍ ለማግኘት የምንተኛበት ፍራሽ ይሄ ነው የማይባል አስተዋጽኦ አለው።
ለሁሉም ሰው አንድ አይነት ፍራሽ ይሆናል ባይባልም፤ ከምርምር በተከታታይ የሚገኙ ውጤቶች እንደሚያሳዩት የምንተኛበት ፍራሽ መጠንከርና መላላት በጀርባ አጥንት አቀማመጥ ፣ በመኝታ ምቾትና በህመም መጠን ላይ አስተዋጽኦው የጎላ ነው።
መሆን ያለበት በእንቅልፍ ወቅት የጀርባ አጥንታችን ተስተካክሎና በተፈጥሮ ቅርፁ ተደግፎ እንዲቆይ ማስቻል ነው። ፍራሽ በጣም ለስላሳ ሲሆን ሰውነታችን በተለይ በዳሌ አካባቢ ያለው አካላችን ወደ ውስጥ ስለሚሰምጥ ያልተስተካከለ የአጥንት አቀማመጥ ይፈጥራል። በተቃራኒው ፍራሹ በጣም የደረቀ ሲሆን የጀርባ አጥንታችንን የተፈጥሮ ቅርፅ እንዳይዝ በማድረግ ምቾት ይነሳናል። ይህም በዳሌና በትከሻ አካባቢ ላይ ጫና ይፈጥራል ። ሁለቱም ሁኔታዎች ምቾት ከመንሳት አልፈው ጥሩ እንቅልፍ እንዳይኖረን ያደርጋሉ።
*መካከለኛ ጥንካሬ ያለው ፍራሽ ለምን ይመከራል?*
የጤና ምርምሮች በግልፅ እንደሚያሳዩት ከሆነ በጣም ጠንካራና ደረቅ ወይም በጣም ለስላሳ ከሆኑት ፍራሾች ጋር ስናወዳድር መካከለኛ ጥንካሬ ያላቸው አፍራሾች ዝቅተኛ የጀርባ ህመም እና ጥራት ያለው እንቅልፍ ያስገኛሉ ።
ምክንያቱም እንዲህ ያሉ ፍራሾች ፤
-ሌሊቱን ሙሉ ተፈላጊውን የሰውነት መስተካከል ጠብቀን እንድንተኛ ያስችላሉ። ማለትም
-የጀርባ አጥንታችን በስርአት ይደገፋል
-መገጣጠምያዎቻችን ከጫና ይድናሉ
-የሰውነታችን ክብደት በተገቢው ሁኔታ በመላው አካል ላይ ይከፋፈላል ።
ምንም እንኳ የሰውነት ምቾት ከሰው ሰው የሚለያይ ቢሆንም ብዙውን ጊዜ ለማጣቀሻነት የምንጠቀመው የጥንካሬ ደረጃ ከ10 የሚለካ ሆኖ ከ5-7 መካከል ያለው የጥንካሬ መጠን በተመራጭነት ይጠቀሳል ።

Medium-Firm Mattress and Low Back Pain.
Low back pain is common, and sleep quality plays an important role in how the body recovers. One important factor is your mattress. While no single mattress works for everyone, research suggests that mattress firmness can affect spinal alignment, comfort, and pain levels.
The goal during sleep is to keep the spine in a neutral, supported position. If a mattress is too soft, the body may sink—especially around the hips—leading to poor alignment. If it is too firm, it may create pressure on the hips, shoulders, and natural curves of the spine. Both can contribute to discomfort and poor sleep.
Why Medium-Firm Is Often Recommended
Medium-firm mattresses are commonly recommended because they provide a balance of support and comfort. They may help with:
Spinal support
Pressure relief for joints
Even weight distribution
Better sleep quality
A medium-firm mattress is often described as about 5–7 out of 10 on a firmness scale, although comfort varies from person to person.
Important Considerations
Body weight, sleep position, and personal comfort all matter. Back sleepers may benefit from medium-firm support, while side sleepers may prefer a slightly softer surface for pressure relief. Also, an old or sagging mattress can worsen back discomfort, regardless of its original quality.
Bottom Line
A medium-firm mattress can be a good evidence-based choice for many people with low back pain because it supports spinal alignment while still providing comfort. However, the best mattress is the one that helps you sleep comfortably and wake up with less pain.

የወገብ ክፍል ላይ የሚሰማ ህመም በብዙ ሰው ላይ የሚታይ ችግር ሲሆን መልካም እንቅልፍ ከህመሙ ለማገገም ጥሩ ሚና ይጫወታል።
መልካም እንቅልፍ ለማግኘት የምንተኛበት ፍራሽ ይሄ ነው የማይባል አስተዋጽኦ አለው።
ለሁሉም ሰው አንድ አይነት ፍራሽ ይሆናል ባይባልም፤ ከምርምር በተከታታይ የሚገኙ ውጤቶች እንደሚያሳዩት የምንተኛበት ፍራሽ መጠንከርና መላላት በጀርባ አጥንት አቀማመጥ ፣ በመኝታ ምቾትና በህመም መጠን ላይ አስተዋጽኦው የጎላ ነው።
መሆን ያለበት በእንቅልፍ ወቅት የጀርባ አጥንታችን ተስተካክሎና በተፈጥሮ ቅርፁ ተደግፎ እንዲቆይ ማስቻል ነው። ፍራሽ በጣም ለስላሳ ሲሆን ሰውነታችን በተለይ በዳሌ አካባቢ ያለው አካላችን ወደ ውስጥ ስለሚሰምጥ ያልተስተካከለ የአጥንት አቀማመጥ ይፈጥራል። በተቃራኒው ፍራሹ በጣም የደረቀ ሲሆን የጀርባ አጥንታችንን የተፈጥሮ ቅርፅ እንዳይዝ በማድረግ ምቾት ይነሳናል። ይህም በዳሌና በትከሻ አካባቢ ላይ ጫና ይፈጥራል ። ሁለቱም ሁኔታዎች ምቾት ከመንሳት አልፈው ጥሩ እንቅልፍ እንዳይኖረን ያደርጋሉ።
*መካከለኛ ጥንካሬ ያለው ፍራሽ ለምን ይመከራል?*
የጤና ምርምሮች በግልፅ እንደሚያሳዩት ከሆነ በጣም ጠንካራና ደረቅ ወይም በጣም ለስላሳ ከሆኑት ፍራሾች ጋር ስናወዳድር መካከለኛ ጥንካሬ ያላቸው አፍራሾች ዝቅተኛ የጀርባ ህመም እና ጥራት ያለው እንቅልፍ ያስገኛሉ ።
ምክንያቱም እንዲህ ያሉ ፍራሾች ፤
-ሌሊቱን ሙሉ ተፈላጊውን የሰውነት መስተካከል ጠብቀን እንድንተኛ ያስችላሉ። ማለትም
-የጀርባ አጥንታችን በስርአት ይደገፋል
-መገጣጠምያዎቻችን ከጫና ይድናሉ
-የሰውነታችን ክብደት በተገቢው ሁኔታ በመላው አካል ላይ ይከፋፈላል ።
ምንም እንኳ የሰውነት ምቾት ከሰው ሰው የሚለያይ ቢሆንም ብዙውን ጊዜ ለማጣቀሻነት የምንጠቀመው የጥንካሬ ደረጃ ከ10 የሚለካ ሆኖ ከ5-7 መካከል ያለው የጥንካሬ መጠን በተመራጭነት ይጠቀሳል ።
*ከግምት ማስገባት ያለብን ጠቃሚ ነገሮች፤*
በሰዎች መካከል እንደ የሰውነት ክብደት ፣ የአተኛኘት ልምድ እና የግል ምቾት ያሉ ልዩነቶች ትክክለኛውን የፍራሽ ውጤት ይወስናሉ።

TECNO and CAF Elevate Dream On The Field with “Future Star of Africa” Youth Sponsorship Initiative
#ethiopia | TECNO, the Official Global Partner of AFCON Morocco 2025, in collaboration with the Confederation of African Football (CAF), has expanded its flagship Dream On The Field charity program with the launch of the “Future Star of Africa” youth sponsorship initiative. This new phase marks a strategic shift from infrastructure development alone to direct, long-term investment in Africa’s emerging football talent.
Moving beyond pitch renovation, the initiative focuses on identifying and supporting promising male and female footballers aged 12 to 15 across the continent, providing structured development and sponsorship until they reach the age of 18. The program is designed to create clear, professional pathways for young players while allowing them to grow and thrive within their home countries.
The launch builds on the strong foundation of the Dream On The Field program, which has already delivered eight renovated football pitches, with seven additional projects currently underway. These efforts align with TECNO’s long-term vision to renovate 100 football pitches across Africa, establishing a sustainable ecosystem that connects grassroots infrastructure with elite player development.
The Future Star of Africa initiative combines CAF’s technical expertise with TECNO’s commitment to empowering young Africans. Talent identification will be conducted through a fair and professional process led by expert scouts, national youth coaches, and sports academics. Players will be evaluated not only on technical skill, but also on mindset, resilience, discipline, and leadership potential, ensuring the development of well-rounded athletes and future role models.
By integrating community infrastructure, long-term youth sponsorship, and professional development frameworks, the TECNO x CAF partnership demonstrates how purposeful collaboration can transform African football—expanding opportunities, strengthening communities, and shaping the continent’s next generation of football leaders.

An Ethiopian Trailblazer on Two Wheels

#ethiopia | ቅዱስ ተሰራ የ 24 ዓመት ኢትዮጵያዊ ወጣት ነው። ለትምህርት እንግሊዝ አገር ይገኛል። በወዳደቁ እንጨት በሰራው ብስክሌት 1,255 ኪሎ ሜትር በላይ ተጉዟል።
በኢምፔሪያል ኮሌጅ በተካሄደው ወርክሾፕ ላይ የፈጠራትን የእንጨት ብስክሌት እንግሊዝን ከጫፍ እስከ ጫፍ እየተጓዘ ነው።
A young Ethiopian student in the UK is making headlines for his extraordinary determination and creativity. Kidus Tesera, 24, is cycling 780 miles across Britain on a bicycle he built almost entirely from recycled parts and wood.
Currently studying at Imperial College London, Kidus first discovered his passion for bike-building while repairing a secondhand bicycle at the university’s workshop. Inspired by the process, he went a step further—designing and crafting his own eco-friendly bike from discarded materials.
Now, his remarkable journey is not just a test of endurance, but also a statement about sustainability, innovation, and the resourceful spirit of Ethiopian youth abroad.
Kidus’ story is a powerful reminder: with creativity and determination, nothing is impossible—whether on the streets of Addis Ababa or the roads of the United Kingdom.
***
👏 What a story!
Kidus Tesera is not just riding a bike—he is riding a dream built by his own hands. An Ethiopian son proving, once again, that creativity and determination can carry us across any distance.
From recycled parts and wood, he shaped a machine. From courage and vision, he shaped a journey. 780 miles ( 1,255 KM) across the UK is more than a cycling adventure—it is a lesson to all of us: when we use what we have, we can go further than we ever imagined.
Kidus, you inspire Ethiopia, you inspire Africa, and you inspire the world. Keep pedaling forward—your story is fuel for the next generation of dreamers and doers. 🚴♂️✨

Hi everyone, this message is from Melat:
Tonight is the FEC fundraising deadline, and our campaign has already broken records. We’ve received support from over 2,100 individuals — more than any challenger in this race has ever gotten in over a decade. That’s real grassroots momentum.
We’re building something different. No corporate PAC money. No lobbyist checks. Just everyday people chipping in what they can — $5, $10, $20 — to power a campaign that actually represents them.
An organizer here in Denver once told me that fundraising is just another form of organizing. And if we’re serious about getting money out of politics, then we have to take responsibility for funding the movements we believe in. That means pooling our resources to elect candidates who’ve already committed to rejecting corporate PACs and lobbyist money, including from groups like AIPAC.
I'm running to fight for:
🏨 Medicare for All
🏡 A robust housing-first program
📈 An economy that works for everyone
The only way we can truly challenge the powers that be is by uniting our efforts in this fight. This campaign is proof that it’s possible, but to keep going, we need to hit our goal by midnight.
If you’ve already donated, thank you. Truly. If not, there’s still time. Every contribution — no matter the amount — is a statement of belief in a better future. Let’s show what’s possible when we organize together.

Through its Co-Care Program, Huawei helps partners provide better services, increase network reliability, and create more value for customers.

Kirubel Asfaw Mengesha (KAM): The Quiet Force Behind Ethiopian Cinema
In Ethiopia’s film industry, few names carry the quiet power of Kirubel Asfaw Mengesha, the founder of KAM Global Pictures. For more than two decades, Kirubel has focused on building a lasting film culture rather than chasing the spotlight.
Born in 1975 in Addis Ababa, Kirubel grew up surrounded by art. His father, Asfaw Mengesha, managed the Hollywood Films Department at the National Theatre (then Hailesillassie Theatre). At just five years old, Kirubel began attending film screenings with his father and fell in love with the magic of cinema, especially 1980s Hollywood films.
After finishing high school, his passion took him to Nairobi, Kenya, where he studied photography and cinematography. Returning to Ethiopia in 2000, he opened his first photo studio in Sidist Kilo with the support of his father.
Soon after, Kirubel partnered with Ethiopian athletics legend Haile Gebresillassie to establish KAM Institute, one of Ethiopia’s pioneering schools of photography and cinematography. Over the years, more than 3,000 young Ethiopians graduated from the institute, many of whom went on to shape the country’s modern film industry.
Determined to strengthen his craft, Kirubel later studied film production in Bangalore, India. Upon returning, he began producing feature films—13 to date—while giving opportunities to fresh talents such as Solomon Bogale, Samson Tadese (Baby), Mahider Assefa, and Girum Ermias. His two standout works, Amalayu (adapted from the French film Hors de Prix) and Wedegedelew (from Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Niggers), won both critical acclaim and commercial success.
Currently, his ambitious TV series “Ye Yakob Lejoch” is airing on FANA TV. The project is being hailed as a milestone for Ethiopian television, not least because six months of pre- and post-production were completed before its premiere—a rare standard in local TV production.
Through it all, Kirubel Asfaw Mengesha has remained a humble builder, letting his films and his graduates speak louder than his name.
📌 Quick Reference Biography
Born: 1975, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Education: Photography & Cinematography (Nairobi, Kenya); Film Production (Bangalore, India)
Career Milestones:
2000 – Opened first photo studio in Sidist Kilo
Early 2000s – Co-founded KAM Institute with Haile Gebresillassie; trained 3,000+ students nationwide
2000s–present – Produced 13 feature films introducing new talents
Notable works: Amalayu, Wedegedelew
2020s – Producer of TV series Ye Yakob Lejoch (FANA TV)
Legacy: Pioneer of Ethiopian film education and production, mentor to thousands, and one of the most influential figures in Ethiopia’s cinematic history.

11 of the best films to watch this April
The Shrouds
David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi-tinged drama stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, an inventor who looks a lot like Cronenberg himself. Grief-stricken by the death of his wife (Diane Kruger), Karsh develops camera systems that can be buried with corpses, so that their relatives can watch them on monitors as they decompose. The invention catches on, but one night some graves containing these high-tech "shrouds" are desecrated, so Karsh and his brother-in-law (Guy Pearce) have to work out who was responsible. This may sound like the kind of scenario that the director of Scanners and The Fly might use to justify lots of gory body horror, but The Shrouds is a "restrained, even elegant" film inspired by Cronenberg's own bereavement, says Steve Pond at The Wrap. "It's a deeply personal look at loss that finds plenty of time to get creepy but never loses sight of the fact that it's a movie about grief… Its focus, which never wavers, is always on the feeling of loss, not the sight of gore."
Released on 18 April in the US
On Swift Horses
Three of Hollywood's brightest young stars get together in On Swift Horses, a handsome period romance directed by Daniel Minhan and adapted from Shannon Pufahl's novel. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Muriel, the fiancée of an upstanding Korean War veteran, Lee (Will Poulter). He is looking forward to a traditional family life in California in the go-getting 1950s, but when his younger brother Julius (Jacob Elordi) comes to stay, Julius's gay relationships and gambling sprees help Muriel to understand why she is attracted to women and drawn to betting on horse races. Graham Guttman at Screen Rant calls the film a "quietly devastating [story of] great pain and even greater love, all of which is portrayed beautifully by the film's all-star cast", adding: "On Swift Horses, with its sweeping romance and epic nature, feels outside of time, transcending any issues to become something deeply affecting." On the other hand, the BBC's Caryn James considers it "a disappointment [that] works much better as an idea than as a film".
Released on 25 April in the US and Canada, and on 30 April in France
The Legend of Ochi
On a remote island in Eastern Europe, fanged and furry monsters called Ochi lurk in the forests. A farmer (Willem Dafoe) is obsessed by hunting them, but when his shy teenage daughter (Helena Zengel) finds an injured baby Ochi, it turns out to be a big-eyed, pointy-eared beastie that bears a striking resemblance to Gizmo from Gremlins and Grogu from The Mandalorian. The girl then defies her father and takes the creature back to its family – a journey that is visualised using practical rather than digital effects. "The Legend of Ochi, the rare A24 family film, is a charming throwback to adventure movies of the 80s like The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal," says Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com, "complete with original puppetry that reportedly contains not an ounce of CGI manipulation. It feels like a family film made by flesh-and-blood people in an era when computers are doing so much of the work."
Released on 25 April in the US, the UK, Canada and Ireland
