Baer the ingenious inventor of the brown box, the prototype that became the Magnavox Odyssey. Ralph H. Baer was the ingenious inventor of the brown box, the prototype that became the Magnavox Odyssey. He was an electrical engineer who worked extensively with televisions and he looked at the television set and imagined more for it, coming up with ways to turn television into an interactive experience. In many ways, Ralph can be considered an originator of both video game technology, interactivity and culture. Ann Wain, Collections Officer at the NVM, will kick off the webinar with a detailed look at the Magnavox Odyssey held in their collection. Finally, we’ll be talking to Mark who will be able to provide insight into Ralph’s life and working processes, looking at his inventive spirit, VHS Special: Ralph H.

Queer East returns to Showroom Cinema next week, showcasing the best in contemporary LGBTQIA+ cinema from East and Southeast Asia. 📽️ Queer East: Girlfriends (18*) | Tue 3 Nov @ 20.30 🎟️ https://showroomcinema.org.uk/film/queer-east-girlfriends In this female-centred coming-of-age drama, director Tracy Choi asks what it means to be true to oneself, exploring the ways in which past experiences shape the present. Lok, a 34-year-old filmmaker from Macau, has been drifting through Hong Kong’s film industry. Although she has already directed a feature film, her life remains unstable, her next project has stalled, and her girlfriend Bei Bei is pushing for them to get married, buy a house, and settle down. Facing multiple pressures, Lok revisits different moments in her past: when she was studying in Taiwan aged 22, and when she was growing up in Macau aged 17.
