MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) — The Marrakech International Film Festival bestowed its top prize Friday on “Happy Holidays,” a Palestinian drama set in Israel whose screenplay won an award at the Venice Film Festival in September. The film, directed by Scandar Copti, follows Israeli and Palestinian characters facing familial and societal pressures in present-day Haifa and stars both professional and non-professional actors. It is the first Palestinian film to win Marrakech’s Etoile D’Or award. Screenwriter Mona Copti in an acceptance speech said the film team’s joy at winning was tempered by war in the Middle East and she denounced what she called the dehumanization of Palestinians Eight features, each a director’s first or second film, competed in the festival. The winning films tackled social issues through the lens of family, a theme that the festival’s artistic director Remi Bonhomme underlined at its opening. The festival awarded its jury prize to two additional films from Somalia and Argentina. The nine-member jury awarded Mo Harawe’s “The Village Next to Paradise” — a story about a family living under the threat of drone strikes dreaming of a better life — and Silvina Schnicer’s “The Cottage” about children who commit an unspeakable act at a rich family’s summer vacation home.

Blackhawks fire coach Luke Richardson in his 3rd season after league-worst startThe Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has taken a significant step in enhancing electricity supply with the commissioning of a 1×60/75 MVA 132/33KV power transformer at the 330/132/33kV Lekki Transmission Substation in Lagos State. Officially completed on December 19, 2024, this upgrade has expanded the substation’s capacity from 120MVA to an impressive 195MVA, enabling greater power distribution efficiency in the region. The announcement was made in a statement shared via the company’s official handle on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday. Related Stories TCN restores electricity in Bayelsa after 4-month blackout Lagos govt shuts businesses across Lekki, Victoria Island, others over noise, environmental infractions The upgraded capacity allows the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) to offtake a larger volume of bulk power, directly benefiting residents and businesses in New Maroko, Cheview Estate, parts of Lekki, and neighboring areas. This development promises more reliable electricity with reduced outages and improved voltage stability for thousands of consumers. Businesses within the Lekki axis, particularly those reliant on stable power supply, have welcomed the upgrade. A local business owner noted, “This initiative will significantly boost our operations, helping us reduce costs associated with alternative power sources.” The commissioning forms a vital part of the World Bank-funded initiative to modernize Nigeria’s electricity infrastructure. The project targets critical challenges in electricity transmission and distribution, aiming to create a more robust system capable of meeting the increasing power demands in urban and peri-urban regions across the country. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, a TCN representative highlighted the importance of the project. “This achievement reflects our commitment to improving the quality and reliability of power supply while contributing to the socio-economic development of Nigeria,” the representative stated. The new transformer has been met with optimism by residents and businesses in the affected areas. Many believe that the increased power capacity will not only improve living standards but also stimulate economic activities within Lekki and its environs. Local resident Adaobi Chukwu remarked, “Reliable electricity has been a major challenge for us. This development is a much-needed relief, and we hope it is sustained.” The Lekki Transmission Substation project is one of many initiatives under the World Bank partnership with TCN. These efforts include capacity building, technology upgrades, and reinforcement of transmission networks across Nigeria. As the federal government ramps up investments in the energy sector, stakeholders have emphasized the need for sustained funding and strategic policies to overcome persistent challenges. With the completion of this project, TCN reaffirms its role as a key player in Nigeria’s energy sector, steadily advancing toward a stable, efficient, and sustainable electricity grid. This upgrade not only addresses immediate power needs but also lays the groundwork for future expansions to accommodate the rapid growth in Lagos and other parts of the country. TCN Lagos Region Commissions New 1×60/75MVA, 132/33KV Power Transformer at Lekki 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation. The Lagos Region of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully commissioned a new 1×60/75 MVA 132/33KV Power Transformer at its 330/132/33kV Lekki Transmission Substation in Lagos State, effective December 19, 2024. The commissioning of the new transformer has increased the substation’s capacity from 120MVA to 195MVA. This upgrade enables Eko Electricity Distribution Company to offtake more bulk power, which will benefit customers in New Maroko, Cheview Estate, parts of Lekki, and surrounding areas. This project is part of the ongoing World Bank-funded initiatives aimed at improving power supply in Nigeria.Iowa moves on without injured quarterback Brendan Sullivan when the Hawkeyes visit Maryland for a Big Ten Conference contest on Saturday afternoon. Former starter Cade McNamara is not ready to return from a concussion, so Iowa (6-4, 4-3) turns to former walk-on and fourth-stringer Jackson Stratton to lead the offense in College Park, Md. "Confident that he'll do a great job," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of Stratton on his weekly radio show. "He stepped in, did a really nice job in our last ballgame. And he's got a good ability to throw the football, and he's learning every day. ... We'll go with him and see what we can do." Iowa had been on an upswing with Sullivan, who had sparked the Hawkeyes to convincing wins over Northwestern and Wisconsin before suffering an ankle injury in a 20-17 loss at UCLA on Nov. 8. Stratton came on in relief against the Bruins and completed 3 of 6 passes for 28 yards. Another storyline for Saturday is that Ferentz will be opposing his son, Brian Ferentz, an assistant at Maryland. Brian Ferentz was Iowa's offensive coordinator from 2017-23. "We've all got business to take care of on Saturday," Kirk Ferentz said. "I think his experience has been good and everything I know about it. As a parent, I'm glad he's with good people." Maryland (4-6, 1-6) needs a win to keep its hopes alive for a fourth straight bowl appearance under Mike Locksley. The Terrapins have dropped five of their last six games, all by at least 14 points, including a 31-17 loss at home to Rutgers last weekend. "It's been a challenging last few weeks to say the least," Locksley said. The challenge this week will be to stop Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson, who leads the Big Ten in rushing yards (1,328) and touchdowns (20), averaging 7.1 yards per carry. "With running backs, it's not always about speed. It's about power, vision and the ability to make something out of nothing," Locksley said. "This guy is a load and runs behind his pads." Maryland answers with quarterback Billy Edwards Jr., who leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game (285.5) and completions (268). His top target is Tai Felton, who leads the conference in catches (86) and receiving yards (1,040). --Field Level Media
