From an Austen anniversary to a Sundance full of female talent, the new year is already packed with highlights. What are you looking forward to this year?
No one expects 2013 to be easy, but we'll take our kicks where we can, and only a week in, there are already cultural triumphs for women to celebrate. The band Haim, three sisters from California, stormed to the top of the BBC's Sound of 2013 list, and for the first time all five categories of the Costa prize were won by women. The frontrunner to take the overall prize on 29 January is Hilary Mantel, with her novel Bring Up the Bodies, but Mary and Bryan Talbot's graphic memoir, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, has also been highly lauded.
There are plenty of other books to look forward to, including Bedsit Disco Queen by Tracey Thorn (Virago, February), Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld, (Doubleday, June), a...

Plan B's film is not a searing social commentary about our mean streets, but a gangster movie that celebrates humanity
The tagline of Ill Manors stakes a claim to searing social commentary. "We are all products of our environment," it asserts. This seems to suggest that the film's grim happenings will impart a familiar lesson: so warped is our iniquitous social order that it condemns those it disadvantages to lives of oafish transgression. Some have found this promise to be fulfilled. According to Geraldine Blake, of the exclusion charity Community Links, Ill Manors shows that "if you put a child in a brutal environment, you end up with a brutalised person".
Yet the film's action could hardly be more dismissive of such nurture determinism. Childhood maltreatment is alluded to, but such is the towering moral agency invested in the characters that it's not allowed to excuse their behaviour. On the contrary,...

From Goldie to Edwina Currie, leading figures from music, politics, film, charities and the media assess Plan B's directorial debut
Camila Batmanghelidjh
Founder of Kids Company, a London charity for vulnerable young people
The film is an incredibly accurate portrait of that kind of environment. It wasn't two-dimensional in that the characters weren't just purely evil – the good in them also showed. I've met all those characters in the course of my work. The little boys terrorised into joining the criminal network are just so real. It demonstrated what I keep telling people: don't say a child chooses to join a gang; there is no choice. The cycle of brutalisation, with kids brutalising kids, the girl fights, all of it is so accurate.
I want to get a copy of this film and deliver it to the prime minister and say: "This is another bit of your country that you don't talk about,...

Coldplay have donated £1 million to a children's charity. The British rockers - Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman - are keen supporters of Kids Company, which helps underprivileged children who lack adult support, and have generously given the cash to help the organisation achieve its goals.
