**The world’s top film festivals, as one**

This weekend marks the beginning of YouTube’s historic “We Are One” global film festival, a 10-day feast of films streaming for free on YouTube from Friday 29May.

The platform has partnered with some 20 festivals, including the Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Locarno and Tribeca film festivals. Although movies will premiere at scheduled times, most will then be available on demand for the duration of the festival, so you can watch at a time that suits you best.

Expect documentaries, music, comedy, feature films, as well as shorts. Viewers will also be able to donate to Covid-19 efforts through a donate button on every film page. Check the schedule[here](http://www.weareoneglobalfestival.com/schedule), and stream the movies[here](http://www.youtube.com/weareone).

**Get nostalgic!**

The widely praised*Celebration Day*, a concert film by English rockers Led Zeppelin, will stream on YouTube for three days, premiering at 9pm SA time on Saturday 30May. The film was recorded at the O2 Arena in London on 10December 2007. The performance was the band’s first concert in 27 years. Watch it here: [**Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day**](https://www.youtube.com/embed/HkqIEeyOz4w)

**Space out**

Earlier this week, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX’s initial attempt at launching their first crewed mission aboard the[Falcon 9](https://www.spacex.com/vehicles/falcon-9/) to the International Space Station was[thwarted](https://www.space.com/spacex-demo-2-astronaut-launch-weather-delay.html) by bad weather. They’re back at it again on Saturday 30 May for the second attempt.

While it might not make for the most dramatic viewing for everyone, there is no denying the historical significance of the moment. It’s seen as laying the groundwork for “future missions to the [Moon](https://www.spacex.com/human-spaceflight/moon/), [Mars](https://www.spacex.com/human-spaceflight/mars/), [and beyond](https://www.spacex.com/human-spaceflight/mars/)”. Watch the launch at 9.22pm SA time on Saturday [here](https://www.spacex.com/).
