Jenny Jiao Hsia’s award-winning coming-of-age tale is a charming look at a teen trying her best to stay on top of thingsIf you visited the V&A’s Design/Play/Disrupt exhibition in 2018, you may have played an interesting minigame collection, in which you fought wobbly physics to feed a girl named Jenny, using a Tetris-style board to achieve the perfect calorie amount, and then twisting her into pilates poses.Almost seven years later, the full version of Consume Me, which won this year’s Independent Games festival grand prize, is set for a September release. According to developer Jenny Jiao Hsia, the game has become a semiautobiographical tale about how she felt “stupid, fat and ugly” in high school. What started as a collection of minigames about Hsia’s struggles with dieting and disordered eating grew into a game that looks at the many facets of her life as a teenager, including her relationship with her mother – who appears accompanied by Persona-style boss battle music and al...

6 h. ago The Regulars review – charming and funny workplace comedy at a the Prince Charles cinema

Fil Freitas’s at times hilarious black-and-white film follows staff and punters at London’s film landmark through a day on shift‘More than just a cheap ticket,” it says on the marquee above the Prince Charles in London’s Leicester Square – a cinema beloved for showing cult films, sing-alongs and all-night movie marathons. The Prince Charles is a favourite of Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino, and when news emerged it was threatened with closure earlier this year, more than 165,000 people signed a petition. Now comes a black-and-white movie, a work-based comedy following a fictionalised day in the life of the Prince Charles, shot by Fil Freitas, whose day job is duty manager at the cinema.On paper, that sounds annoyingly smug and self-conscious. But The Regulars turns out to be sweet and charming, and absolutely hilarious in places, with the easygoing, natural feel of a Richard Linklater film. Freitas shot the whole thing for £6,000, filming at night, when the cinema was closed...

6 h. ago We criminalise the political stunt at our peril. It is a crucial art form that is impossible to ignore | Mark Borkowski

At the same time as we applaud the suffragettes and the likes of Peter Tatchell, Britain is losing the right to protestMark Borkowski is a crisis PR consultant and authorWe must ask ourselves: how would the heroic suffragettes or the remarkable Greenham Common women be regarded if active today? The answer is simple: they would be locked up. Just as they were locked up then. A century ago, women chained themselves to railings, set fires, endured prison and changed the world, and we celebrate their victories without thinking too hard about their methods. Yet today’s laws would criminalise them on sight.Last month, the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, wore a commemorative sash celebrating the suffragette struggle. Yet this is the same Yvette Cooper presiding over an age of repressive laws and mass arrests. It’s a paradox: we laud the rebels of the past while shackling the rebels of the present.Mark Borkowski is a crisis PR consultant and author. His BBC Radio 4 Archive on 4 documentary, ...
