Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentItalian director Roberta Torre, known for campy Mafia musical “Tano to Die For” and other anarchic pics, is making “Le Favolose,” about a group of transgender women who reunite after 20 years to commemorate a dead friend and do right by her after her identity has been violated.“Le Favolose,” which translates as “The Fabulous Ones,” is being produced by Donatella Palermo, who is at the Berlinale with auteur Paolo Taviani’s competition entry “Leonora Addio.”Palermo, who has a longstanding rapport with Torre, is the Italian producer behind two Berlin Golden Bear winners: the Taviani brothers’ “Caesar Must Die” and Gianfranco Rosi’s “Fire at Sea.” “When a person decides to face the [gender] transition from man to woman it can be a very painful process in several different ways: social, physical, etc.,” said Palermo, who notes that “when a trans dies, most of the time their body is returned to their families.” Torre’s new pic is based on a real-life story of Antonia, one of the “Fabulous Ones,” who is buried by her family dressed as a man under her original name, Giampaolo, amid the indifference of most.
UK Government announces clampdown on misleading cryptocurrency adverts to protect more people
24.01.2022 - 16:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Cryptocurrency adverts will have to meet the same standards as other financial promotions, such as insurance, to help protect people from potentially misleading claims.
Promotions will be brought into line with other financial advertising, ensuring they are fair and clear, and helping people to make informed decisions, the UK Government said. Under the plans, the promotion of cryptoassets will come under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules - in line with other financial promotions such as stocks, shares, and insurance products.
The UK Government said this will balance the desire to encourage innovation with the need to ensure adverts are fair, clear, and not misleading.
Around 2.3 million people in the UK are thought to own cryptoassets but research suggests some users may not fully understand what they are buying - posing a risk that products could be mis-sold.
Around £300 of cryptoassets are held on average.
Nearly a third (31%) of cryptoasset holders who saw an advert were encouraged to buy as a result, according to previous research.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: “Cryptoassets can provide exciting new opportunities, offering people new ways to transact and invest, but it’s important that consumers are not being sold products with misleading claims.
“We are ensuring consumers are protected, while also supporting innovation of the cryptoasset market.”
In 2018 the UK Government launched the Cryptoassets Taskforce, to steer the UK’s regulatory response to the market.
The taskforce previously found that misleading advertising and a lack of suitable information was a key consumer protection issue in cryptoasset markets and cryptoasset advertising can often overstate benefits and rarely warn of volatility risks.
