Film on Deccani wool wins award at Annecy Festival
CHENNAI: Suresh Eriyat 's six-minute stop-motion animation film 'Desi Oon,' an animated film, won the jury award for commissioned film at the Annecy International Animation Festival 2025 held in France. Annecy Festival is considered the Oscars of animation. Desi Oon was the only Indian film to be selected from among 3,900 entries from 100 countries. The film was commissioned by Centre for Pastoralism (CfP) to help create awareness on Indian wool. 'Oon means wool, and Desi Oon means the kind of wool extracted from Deccani Deccani black sheep, which can be found mostly in Karnataka and southern Maharashtra, besides Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh,' says Suresh, whose Studio Eeksaurus has created the film. 'We've used only wool puppets throughout the film, so it's the wool which speaks for itself. However, working with the material and animating it was a challenge which took us a year.' Supported by Samagata Foundation, the film has been narrated by lyricist Swanand Kirkire, features music by Rajat Dholakia and sound design by Resul Pookutty. 'It's also a tribute to the shepherds who conserve the wool, presented through a character, shepherd Balumama, and the sustainable pastoralism that he practised. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Das tollste kostenlose Casinospiel des Jahres 2025 Merkur24 Jetzt spielen Undo Actual folk music of shepherds has been used for the film.' The film launched at the Deccan edition of the Living Lightly exhibition in Bengaluru in February 2025 and is available for viewing for free on YouTube. 'The screening was a multi-sensory experience, and we included different smells of sheep during the viewing. It will now travel through the country for screenings" "We hope the film will start conversations on the neglect Deccani wool has suffered for generations and the plight of the shepherds. They have been ignored and discarded in favour of acrylics and imported wools. Once a sacred bond between humans, animals and nature, wool now stands forgotten in the wake of urbanisation and industrial change,' says Suresh. CfP, based in New Delhi, works across the country to enhance demand for indigenous wool, which, according to them, has enormous potential in the production of textiles, for use in acoustics, thermal insulation, for packaging and as biofertilizer.

Madonna and the Pope are distant cousins? The internet can't get enough of it
In a plot twist that feels straight out of a Dan Brown novel (minus the murder and secret codes), it turns out that Madonna—the Queen of Pop, is actually related to the new head of the Catholic Church. According to none other than renowned historian and genealogy expert Henry Louis Gates Jr., Madonna and Pope Leo XIV (aka Robert Prevost) are ninth cousins, several times removed. This revelation comes from Finding Your Roots, the long-running PBS documentary series hosted by Gates. The show, which has previously connected celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Anderson Cooper to historical surprises, took a deep dive into the new Pope's lineage. And what do you know? Tucked somewhere in the tangled family tree is a 16th-century Québécois man named Louis Boucher de Grandpré, born in the 1590s. He's the common ancestor linking the 66-year-old pop icon and the 69-year-old pontiff. As Gates explained—and as The New York Times confirmed—this unexpected bloodline connection doesn't stop with Madonna. Pope Leo XIV is also distant cousins with Justin Bieber, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, and even Beat Generation author Jack Kerouac. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Ilha Comprida (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo That's one serious crossover between the Vatican and the Vanity Fair party guest list. And let's be clear: this isn't just a fun celebrity trivia nugget. It actually tells us something bigger about the world we live in. Genealogy—especially in this digital, DNA-testing age—is starting to reveal just how interconnected our stories are. It's a reminder that lineage doesn't care about public personas or controversies. Families are messy. History is messier. It also speaks to how celebrity narratives have evolved. This isn't just tabloid material. It's part of a larger conversation about heritage, identity, and the complicated legacies we inherit—even when we have no idea they exist. We probably won't see a family reunion anytime soon (though the internet would absolutely lose its mind if they appeared in a selfie together). Still, it's kind of comforting to know that even the most unlikely people might be connected in some small way. And maybe, just maybe, it's proof that the past has a wild sense of humor. So there you have it: Madonna and Pope Leo XIV are ninth cousins, several times removed. One changed pop culture. The other leads a billion Catholics worldwide. And somewhere, their shared ancestor from 400 years ago is probably watching this unfold and thinking, 'I did not see this coming.' Welcome to 2025—where Madonna and the Pope are family. Literally.
