From today's featured articleLoev is a 2015 Indian romantic drama film written and directed by Sudhanshu Saria. It stars Dhruv Ganesh and Shiv Panditt (pictured) as two friends who set off to the Western Ghats for a weekend trip. Focusing on their complex emotional and sexual relationship, the film drew heavily from Saria's personal experiences. Its title is a deliberate misspelling of and is pronounced like the word "love". The cinematographer Sherri Kauk shot the film in the summer of 2014 in Mahabaleshwar in the Western Ghats in peninsular India, and in Mumbai. Loev had its world premiere at the 2015 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia, its North American premiere at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival in Texas and its Indian premiere at the 2016 Mumbai International Film Festival. It won the Audience Award at the 2016 Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival. Ganesh died from tuberculosis prior to the film's release. Loev was released on Netflix on 1 May 2017.

Today's featured picture
The white-plumed honeyeater (Ptilotula penicillata) is a species of small passerine bird endemic to Australia. The species is common around water, and they are often seen in backyards and suburbs with vegetation cover. First described by the English naturalist John Gould in 1837, the specimen he examined came from the "interior of New South Wales". The specific epithet penicillata derives from the Latin word penicillis, meaning 'brush tip', referring to the white plume across the side of the neck, its distinguishing characteristic. The rest of the bird is mainly olive-coloured. This white-plumed honeyeater was photographed in Glen Davis, New South Wales. Photograph credit: John Harrison
