Amanda Kramer’s "So Unreal" is a cinephile’s visual essay examining a canon of films that dared dream beyond the threshold of the real. Across a 30-year span – 1981 to 2001 – depictions of ‘future shock’ technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, and virtual reality grew in both frequency and complexity. Cinema in these years provided an outlet for humanity’s intertwined anxieties, fears, and fantasies about the brave new frontiers looming ahead. Narrated by Blondie icon Debbie Harry, "So Unreal" mines the substance and subtext of cyber-minded landmarks like "Tron," "Videodrome," "Brainstorm," "Terminator 2," "Tetsuo," "Lawnmower Man," "Hackers," "The Matrix," and dozens more. Soundtracked with deep cuts from the electronic underground, and styled with CGI-glitch FX, "So Unreal" maps the subcurrents of euphoria and dystopia simmering in the cinematic subconscious of the end of the 20th century.

On Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, One Warm Coat will lead the nation in observing National Share the Warmth Day, a dedicated national day of awareness and action to ensure everyone has access to the warmth, comfort, and protection they need to thrive. Since 1992, One Warm Coat has helped distribute nearly 9 million coats and kept 22 million pounds of textiles out of landfills. Every coat collected stays within the local community where it was given, ensuring immediate impact. Observed annually on the third Tuesday of October, National Share the Warmth Day inspires thousands of individuals, schools, community groups, and companies to donate coats, host coat drives, and make financial contributions to provide warmth to children and adults in need. The need is more urgent than ever: More than 37 million Americans currently live in poverty. Homelessness rates jumped by 18% in 2024, with more than 771,000 people in the U.S. without housing. Last year, One Warm Coat supported 4,600 coat drives, facilitating the distribution of nearly 500,000 coats nationwide, yet 60% of local nonprofit partners reported not having enough coats to meet the need. 84% of One Warm Coat’s nonprofit partners expect an increased demand for services this year. Ways to get involved include: Give money: Every $1 donated warms one person in need. Give coats: Find a local drop-off site at onewarmcoat.org/donatecoats Give time: Organize a coat drive in your community with help from One Warm Coat. Lands’ End - $10 off in-store purchase with coat donation from 09/27/25 - 12/07/25 J.Crew - $25 off next purchase of $125 or more with coat donation 10/14/25 - 12/31/25 One Warm Coat thanks their 2025 sponsors: J.Crew, MOD Pizza, Lands’ End, Max Mara, The Samueli Foundation, Todd Synder, Vodafone Foundation, and Garnett Hill.
