WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is to join the jury for this year's Raindance film festival. Raindance revealed the high-profile addition on Twitter.

His lawyer has argued his client would not receive a fair trial, while Assange fears he could face onward extradition to the Us in relation to WikiLeaks' disclosure of a huge trove of classified Us military and diplomatic documents.
Raindance, billed as Europe's largest festival of independent film-making, will being screening Mediastan, a documentary produced by Assange. Founder Elliot Grove said it was Assange's experience in online journalism that attracted them to the idea of having him on the jury.

Robert Rankin is often regarded as one of the kookiest authors in the land, and with good reason. Many of his books’ plots take nonsensical twists and turns that, ultimately, feel absolutely right in the wacky universe that he’s created. Made famous for the Brentford Trilogy, a series currently spanning nine books, classed as ‘Far Fetched Fiction’ by the man himself, he’s written and published over thirty novels, to critical acclaim.
I bumped into him recently at the London Film & Comic Con and conveniently had a Dictaphone on me (though, do you really believe I just happened to have one on me?). I just had to fire some questions at him, and Rankin gave some remarkable advice that people hoping to break into the publishing industry, and the future of the industry that is slowly becoming electronic, as well as some talking about himself, his work, and what...
