Golshifteh Farahani to Receive Locarno Excellence Award Davide Campari
Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani will receive the Excellence Award Davide Campari at the 78th edition of the Locarno Film Festival. She will be presented with the honor on the opening evening of the fest Wednesday, Aug. 6.

'Renowned for her captivating performances and fearless artistic choices, Golshifteh Farahani has established herself as one of the most influential voices in contemporary cinema,' Locarno organizers said. 'Born in Tehran in 1983, Golshifteh Farahani's passion for acting emerged at an early age, leading to her breakthrough role in Dariush Mehrjui's The Pear Tree (1998), which won her the best actress award at the Fajr International Film Festival. Since then, she has appeared in a remarkable array of films, both in Iran — Abbas Kiarostami's Shirin (2008) and Asghar Farhadi's About Elly (2009) being two major examples — and internationally, from an acclaimed auteur's work like Jim Jarmusch's Paterson (2016) to Ridley Scott's spy thriller Body of Lies (2008), alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, and the epic Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) with Christian Bale and Sigourney Weaver, and action packed Extraction (2020), with Chris Hemsworth and its sequel (2023).'

Residential college wins construction award
University of Otago organisational delivery senior project manager Kirsten Eichstaedt and capital works head Wes Jenkins with this year's Project Management Institute of New Zealand Aotearoa Construction Project of the Year awards for construction management of Te Rangihīroa College. PHOTO: GERARD O'BRIEN Te Rangihīroa College has become more than just a place to sleep for University of Otago students. It is now a multi-award-winning home away from home. The university's first new purpose-built residential college in over 50 years has picked up another major award — this year's Aotearoa Construction Project of the Year, at the Project Management Institute of New Zealand (PMINZ) awards. PMINZ president Carol Speirs said the winners exemplified the very best of project delivery in New Zealand. "They represent the talent, innovation, and resilience driving progress across the country — from digital transformation to infrastructure and sustainability." University of Otago property and campus development director Tanya Syddall said the award was in recognition of the construction project's outstanding project management and leadership team. She was proud of the project, which had become an "example" for others in the construction industry. "It's an amazing space for our tauira/students and has become a major feature on the Dunedin campus and a very popular choice for those coming to study at Otago." The facilities include 450 bedrooms, flexible study spaces, a large student lounge, a movie room, a sound-proof music room, a media room equipped for gaming and a courtyard with a half basketball court. Eight of the rooms also have a remote vibrating unit, which helps hearing-impaired students to wake up if a fire alarm is activated. Last year, Te Rangihīroa College won three other industry awards, including an Excellence Award in the Multi-Unit Residential Property category at the Property Industry Awards. The 7730sqm, seven-floor facility was designed by Jasmax architects and constructed by Southbase Construction. Te Rangihīroa was the name of an Otago alumni (Sir Peter Buck), who was the first Māori medical graduate from a New Zealand university, in 1904. Ngāti Mutunga, the iwi of Te Rangihīroa, gifted the name to the university in 2013.

This year, the 36th Sabah State Scholarship Award of Excellence Ceremony is jointly organised by the Yayasan Sabah Group, the Sabah State Public Service Department (JPANS), and the Sabah Islamic Religious Council (MUIS) as part of a collaborative effort to broaden recognition for outstanding students from various academic streams.

In a statement, the director of Yayasan Sabah, Dato' Sri Haji Gulamhaidar @ Yusof bin Khan Bahadar, said, 'The award is not merely an academic accolade, it is a strategic investment in Sabah's future. Through this initiative, we aim to cultivate a generation of young leaders who are not only academically distinguished but also competitive, leadership-driven, and ready to advance the State's progress.' The initiative by the Sabah State Government, through the Yayasan Sabah Group, JPANS and MUIS, aims to inspire and motivate top-tier students to achieve excellence across all disciplines consistently. 'We acknowledge that the next generation represents the nation's greatest asset. Sabah's future depends on our ability to mould young people who are not only knowledgeable and resilient, but also guided by strong values. Therefore, to sustain the progress and prosperity we enjoy today, we must channel our efforts towards equipping them with the knowledge and skills essential for creating a balanced future generation,' he stated. A total of 1,000 students from schools within the Kota Kinabalu area will participate in the event, serving as a source of inspiration and sparking their motivation to strive for academic excellence. 'To all the award recipients, may your excellence continue to shine indefinitely. Let these achievements inspire humility rather than complacency. While we have celebrated many successes, it is crucial to remember that past victories do not guarantee future triumphs. We must remain diligent and proactive to ensure continued success,' he added. As a cornerstone of Sabah's development, educational initiatives such as these should be further strengthened and broadened in scope by the Sabah State Government through the Yayasan Sabah Group, JPANS, and MUIS to advance the State's progress, with a firm emphasis on advancing educational excellence.
