  • Ghost in the Machine - Absolute must-watch deep dive into so-called AI

    Writing for the Sundance Institute website, Erik Adams calls Valerie Veatch’s Ghost in the Machine "the scariest movie playing at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival". He’s not wrong. It’s not only scary, it’s also rage-inducing. Veatch traces the red line that links the current "AI " tools and the... continue

    Europe’s largest (and the world’s second largest) film festival back, nestled in the heart of France’s wild, volcanic region of the Massif Central.

  • Arab picks from LFF 2025

    Aside from our recently reviewed Palestine 36, the BFI London Film Festival marked the festival run tailend for a number of films from the Arab world.

The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

by Abla Kandalaft
A doctor connects three people arse to mouth. A doctor connects three people arse to mouth. If I read that somewhere I think my initial reaction would be to laugh. I watched the film and didn’t laugh. One thing’s for sure, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Technically less torture-heavy than, say, the Saw franchise, I found it more stomach churning. It left me unsure whether I liked it or not. (…) Continue Reading »
