Getting In Front Of The Competition
The International Olympic Committee said on Thursday that Swiss-based, Chinese-owned Infront Sports & Media would handle broadcast right sales in much of Asia for the next series of Summer and Winter games.
The deal covers 22 territories including Afghanistan, Brunei, Cambodia, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam – but not China, Japan or South Korea, and runs 2026-2032. That means it will cover the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Summer games. The 2030 Winter Olympics, which have yet to be allocated a host, and all Youth Olympic Games during this period will also be covered.
Infront, which is headed by Philippe Blatter and has been owned by China’s Dalian Wanda since 2015, replaces the Japanese advertising and marketing giant Dentsu, which had handled the rights...

Lim Yu-Beng and Loo Zihan in Solos
The sexy, stylish and silent Solos makes its debut in an otherwise slow week for DVD.
Read on for more, including our Title of the Week!
Solos layers a complex sound mix (but no dialogue) over the haunting story of Man (Lim Yu-Beng) and Boy (co-director Loo Zihan), whose relationship is growing strained as Boy grows out of his adolescence; not helping matter is Boy's grasping Mother (Goh Guat Kian), who wants her son to come home.
This haunting film was banned in Singapore due to its homoerotic content but was received with great acclaim in the west; the DVD features a commentary track featuring Zihan in discussion with John Cameron Mitchell and Sir Ian McKellen.
For our Title of the Week, I considered the that's-so-wrong RetarDead, but that was too politically incorrect even for me. Instead, I went for Stomp! Shout! Scream!
