Eurobike 2022 kicks off in Frankfurt this week, and Heidelberg-based "avant-garde" ebike builder Coboc is marking the occasion with the launch of an urban sport model called the Sydney that rocks stealthy non-ebike looks and tips the scales at 14.5 kg.Designed for both road and gravel, the Sydney features a step-over aluminum frame with a tapered top bar that's available in four sizes to accommodate riders from 1.58 to 2 m (5.18 - 6.5 ft) in height.The minimalist clean lines are maintained courtesy of internal cable…

However, the studio’s track record outside of the many Spider-Man movies and Tom Hardy’s two outings as Venom has been less-than-stellar to put it lightly.

Many strange thoughts ping-ponged around my mind while watching David Easteal’s three-hour drama The Plains, despite nothing remotely strange occurring during it. Based in the back of a car for almost the entirety of its very hefty running time, the film captures a series of work-to-home commutes for a middle-aged lawyer, Andrew (Andrew Rakowski), who has a familiar routine: calling his mother and wife; listening to talkback radio; sitting in silence; or chatting to a colleague (Easteal, also the film’s director and…

This poignantly titled anthology production draws together film-makers from Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific to respond to the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s arrival in the region. Combining eight strands from 10 directors, the film reaches into the past, dramatising debates within Māori communities about whether to fight in the Battle of Ōrākau of 1864, for instance (Te Puuru, written and directed by Tim Worrall and Richard Curtis); and visiting the trenches of Gallipoli where a Samoan soldier bonds with…
