    LOS ANGELES --

    Swedish director Clara Tägtström has joined RSA Films for commercial representation in the U.S., U.K. and Asia territories.   

    A graduate of Beckmans College of Design Stockholm, Tägtström comes from a background in visual communication which has seen her work across several roles in production, directing campaigns for Google, Toyota, MTV, IKEA and Nike, among others.  

    A punk rocker at heart, and a Swedish National Team golfer in practice, Tägtström has turned out work defined by a fearless curiosity, balancing cinematic beauty with a documentary and storytelling approach to filmmaking. Her Wild Youth film series of socially excluded adolescents living off-grid in California was shortlisted for the Cannes Young Directors Award, with the project evolving into a feature documentary with support from Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello, and in association with The Swedish Film Institute, The Malik Bendjelloul Memorial Fund, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and Creative Europe.  

    Tägtström’s previous shorts have been featured in selections around the world including the National Geographic Official Short Film Showcase, for which she captured the high-risk dynamism of horse racing.  

    Currently, Tägtström splits her time between Stockholm and Los Angeles.

Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
