Humber Film and Television Production professor, Kazik Radwanski's new feature Matt and Mara has been invited to screen in the Encounters Competition of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival. The film was recently profiled in the Globe & Mail and will have its world premiere on February 20.

Matt and Mara: A young creative writing professor, is struggling with problems in her marriage to an experimental musician. One day, Matt, a charismatic, free-spirited author from her past, wanders onto her university campus. Bonded by their shared interests, the two gradually become closer. When Mara’s husband unexpectedly cancels plans to drive her to an out-of-town conference, Matt accompanies Mara on the trip instead. Along the way, the tension surrounding their undefined relationship slowly grows.

Kazik Radwanski was born in Toronto, Canada in 1985, and is co-founder of the MDFF production company. His debut feature film Tower premiered at Locarno while How Heavy This Hammer premiered in the 2016 Berlinale and Anne at 13,000 ft premiered at TIFF and was awarded the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award from the Toronto Film Critics Association in 2021.

The Digital Student Experience (DSX) Program emerged from the 2023-2026 Digital Campus and Academic Plans and focuses on enhancing the digital student experience.  

The DSX program seeks to radically transform the student experience, tailoring and personalizing interactions with our community in ways that allow everyone to feel understood, supported and valued.

Digital Experience Platform (DXP)

The Digital Experience Platform (DXP) offers Humber an integrated suite of tools and apps to create meaningful relationships with our prospects, students and alumni as they become engaged with Humber on our websites and digital media. 

Within this platform is a Content Management System and Digital Asset Management System. The Content Management System will host all of Humber’s websites on a modern, centrally managed platform.

The Digital Asset Management System will be a content hub that holds brand assets, photography, video and graphic elements for use in communication material. 

The Digital Experience Platform will provide a personalized and continuous browsing experience across all Humber sites, including: 

• Adjusting content based on data analytics to improve the experience for prospective students 
• Creating standardized, modular design components to support the easy and quick creation/update of content 
• Maintaining brand presence and a consistent look and feel across all Humber’s websites 
• A new centralized way to easily search, share and download digital assets

The DXP is part of our Digital Campus Plan, along with other projects like Digital Identity (DI), and Enrolment and Admissions Rethinking (E&AR).

Learn more about the DXP at the DSX Program Showcase on March 4, 2024.

Apple released the version of iOS 17.3 which includes a new "Stolen Device Protection" feature. 

How does it work? 

Stolen Device Protection is a new feature in iOS 17.3 that prevents unauthorized access to your device if it is lost or stolen. When you turn on Stolen Device Protection, your device will automatically lock itself with your FaceID and Passcode if it detects that it has been removed from your possession. You can also remotely lock your device using the Find My Phone app on another Apple device or iCloud.com. To unlock your device, you will need to verify your identity with FaceID or enter your Passcode and Recovery Key. You can reset your Recovery Key using your Apple ID and trusted phone number if you don't have your Recovery Key. Stolen Device Protection helps keep your data and Apple Pay information secure, even if your device falls into the wrong hands.   

How to use Stolen Device Protection 

Turning on Stolen Device Protection in four steps: 

1. Download and install iOS 17.3
2. Open the Settings app 
3. Open FaceID & Passcode menu 
4. Toggle on Stolen Device Protection
