Game development and the world of game design have become so large that people are willing to
fill entire halls to gather and showcase their work, to learn from one another, and to network.
Instead, the film shifts to a nice but awkward breakfast,
filled with sight gags (how the Queen's aids, played by Rebecca
Hall and Rafe Spall, set up a place for the giant to eat), uncomfortable pauses, and resolving with an
entire room enjoying — and immediately regretting — a drink of BFG's favorite, fizzy beverage (For a hint as to how that decision goes, the carbonated bubbles go downward).
In the adjacent booth of Carl Solway Gallery, the installation artist Ann Hamilton (who not long ago
filled the Park Avenue Armory's
entire drill
hall) is in residence, engaging visitors with the sort of interactive project that's become common at contemporary fairs like Frieze (coming to New York in May) and at the Armory, but that is rare here.
