Roberto Benigni became an internationally recognized star thanks to his Oscar-winning film Life is Beautiful. But his popularity vanished with his pet project Pinnochio. It was a hit in Italy but bombed everywhere else. Almost 20 years later, the Italian filmmaker is returning with the same story that cost him his A-list career.

Painting has been erroneously declared dead numerous times. When photography was invented in 1839, during the rise of minimalist art in the 80s and now with the dominance of social media. Hatice Meryem Gelgor went to an exhibition in London to check if photography killed the portrait painter.

According to a recent UK study, the gaming industry is becoming more diverse than hiring a bunch of white guys sitting in their moms' basements playing fortnight. But, women in the industry are still woefully underrepresented, even though they make up half the people playing the games.
