The Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy, is back in full force in 2023, celebrating its 25th anniversary edition from April 21–29.
A key component of the celebrations will be a focus on the Asian films of the 1980s. “We have never programmed these films, nor put together this kind of program before,” says Thomas Bertacche, the Feff’s co-head. “But these were the films and directors that inspired us to shape Udine into the festival that it is today.”
Pitching the historical lineup as “hidden treasures,” the selection is expected to include early works by Japan’s Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Thailand’s Nonzee Nimibutr and South Korea’s Jan Sung-woo.
Roger Garcia, former executive director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, is set to curate a section on Leung Po-chi, the 83-year-old British-Hong Kong director who made the leap from commercials to TV and into film. Leung was at the...

The Marvel Entertainment, TinyCo mobile game title "Marvel Avengers Academy" reimagines the "Avengers" as teenage high school students:
Captain America – The living legend and natural born leader just might be the only mature person at the Academy, so he’s a perfect fit to lead away missions and serve as Class President. But that doesn’t mean he relates to his classmates. The guys respect him, the girls adore him, and Hydra hates him, but he’s still trying to find his place in this crazy world, and even crazier campus.
The Hulk – He's the ultimate Big Man on Campus, a gentle giant who just happens to be "the strongest there is." He does his best to learn and fit in, but this Academy wasn't made for invulnerable behemoths, so his anxiety and frustrations inevitably turn to anger and that’s not good for anyone.
Iron Man – Tony Stark is a billionaire.

With spots on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, you've almost certainly seen Canadian-turned-Brit Katherine Ryan on your TV in the last few years.
If you were in Regent's Park this summer, you may have even seen her on your lunch break. Along with Josh Widdicombe, Ryan performed a set to Londoners at the Volvic Juiced Comedy Event.
"It was wonderful," she told Digital Spy about the show.
"One of my favourite things about living in the UK is having that chance to go to festivals.
"So many festivals all come along and this really felt like an opportunity to bring the festival to the people, right in Regent's Park."
Of her new set Glam Role Model, Ryan said: "We don't have glamour models in Canada at all.
"I mean we do have girls who get their tits out, but it's frowned upon. It's not totally, totally mainstream.

Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are joined by Broadchurch and Campus' Jonathan Bailey in these fan photos taken during what's thought to be the filming of series eight's fifth episode, written by Stephen Thompson.
Keeley Hawes, as announced last week, is also due to appear in the as-yet-unnamed adventure as "a powerful out-of-this-world character with a dark secret", though there's no glimpse of her besuited bespectacledness in the below pics. Coleman, however, is rocking a sharp look of her own...

Where to start with Canadian Comedian Katherine Ryan, whom I first discovered via this very website? Well, you would have seen the native Ontarian on 8 out of 10 Cats, Campus, Mock The Week, NBC’s Last Comic Standing and Episodes. You may have been lucky enough to go to one of her stand-up shows, which I sadly haven’t had the chance to see yet.
But her volume of work speaks for itself. A truly international comedian, having appeared on red carpets, at the Playboy Mansion, comedy clubs in The Us, The UK and Canada. She also has a very keen interest in Genetics, and having bravely battled two bouts of skin cancer developed an 8-part webseries about her own genome with the Wellcome Trust.
Ryan was deemed the UK’s funniest woman in 2008 by Nivea, and last year, her sellout Fringe Show Little Miss Conception proved to be a massive...

Campus
Stars: Andy Nyman, Joseph Millson, Lisa Jackson, Jonathan Bailey, Sara Pascoe, Will Adamsdale, Dolly Wells | Produced and Directed by Victoria Pile
Created by the team behind Green Wing and Smack The Pony, Campus is a brand new comedy set in the hotbed of academic mediocrity that is Kirke University.
Run by the mercurial Vice Chancellor Jonty de Wolfe, played in superb Ott fashion by Andy Nyman, Kirke University is home to a veritable feast of degenerate, disingenious and downright delusional staff including philandering English Professor Matt Beer, shy Maths teacher Imogen Moffat, nice but dim student/teaching assistant Flatpack, Engineering lecturer Lydia “Big Shit” Tennant, Jason the reticent accountant and Nicole the feisty (if a little stupid) accomodations officer.
Campus is, much like Green Wing, a series of skits tied loosely together by a college setting but unlike Green Wing, Campus is darker, much darker. Be it the sexism and casual racism from Wolfe,...

Sky have announced the latest addition to their growing comedy slate, Spy, which will transmit this Autumn on Sky 1 HD. The series tells the story of Tim (Daren Boyd – pictured above), a single father trying to win back the respect and affections of his horribly precocious nine year old son, Marcus. In the hope of proving that he is not a complete loser, Tim quits his dead-end job but his life changes forever when he is accidentally recruited as a trainee spy for MI5.
Tim (Darren Boyd – Case Sensitive, Green Wing, Dirk Gently) struggles as he attempts to juggle family life and his professional life without his secret being discovered, least of all by Marcus, (newcomer Jude Wright). Supervising Tim at work is irrepressible MI5 boss, The Examiner, played by Robert Lindsay (My Family) who teaches the recruits his own unorthodox approach to the espionage game.

Campus is a brand new comedy set in the hotbed of academic mediocrity that is Kirke University. At its helm is the stubby, mercurial Vice Chancellor Jonty de Wolfe, who wants nothing more than to drench Kirke in the juices of his own greatness.
As a scary cloud of financial doom hovers over the gently crumbling 60s concrete, Jonty attempts to pimp up Kirke in any way he can, whether it’s faked alumni, kidnapped prodigies or a range of “Eau de Kirke” perfumery – but his lofty plans soar as gracefully as a porky tortoise and while the strangely unsettling puppet master plunges deeper into the pickle jar, the rest of Kirke’s assorted staff get sidetracked by the more urgent dilemma of who to sleep with next.
The philandering English Professor Matt Beer is forced to up his game in all departments, as he makes no impression on shy Maths lecturer Imogen Moffat,...
