Short Film
When he’s pressured into attending a dinner party hosted by his boss, a man who suffers from a rare food allergy must navigate the most stressful night of his life with one primary objective: just don’t throw up in front of everyone.
Two strangers wake up in a mysterious white room with no way out or memory of their past. The two must unravel their identity while navigating a corporate metaverse that controls virtually every aspect of its employees’ online reality. A story about finding yourself.
Two former rivals reconnect over drinks and a quick bite. One is compulsively running through men and can’t kick the habit of drinking their blood, and the other is working through her trauma and settling down with a new career in monster counseling. Things get a little uncomfortable when the conversation turns to the same toxic lover that connected them — Count Dracula — one of whom is still entangled with him.
Documentaries
Old people run the world, with octogenarians in power and wealth disproportionately flowing to the elderly. Life opportunities once available to today’s seniors—affordable housing, cheap education, livable wages—are slipping out of reach for younger generations. Boomers, the debut feature-length documentary from Tom Nicholas, follows a trail across New York, Washington DC, Florida’s The Villages, Paris, and London to uncover the rise of the gerontocracy and the questionable legacy of the Baby Boomers. In a time of intense intergenerational tension, Tom investigates how a generation that seemingly had it all has left a complicated mess for those who come after.

Revisiting one of the largest scientific controversies of the 20th century; the dispute that began with an ethics question over a single biology paper caught the attention of the national media and US congress, and had lasting repercussions on how scientific misconduct cases are investigated even 40 years later.
Series
On Abolish Everything!, comedian-abolitionists roast a pet peeve they want banned from society, while a panel of improvisers dubbed “The Political Establishment” argue on behalf of the status quo. The audience chooses their champion each episode, each of whom will come back to compete in the season finale.
Welcome to ‘Amy’s Dead-End Dreamhouse,’ where Amy and her household appliances navigate adult issues like mental illness, job hunting, and impossible beauty standards with help from some very special guests.

Theater
Written by and starring Abigail Thorn, creator of Philosophy Tube, The Prince is a transformative new play that has everything: sword fighting, lesbianism, Hamlet, and disappointed parents.
The first 2 links are just claims without substance. the third one is more interested and shows how, even in 2026, this is far from being ready.
The cost of implementation is definitely not worth it. Nice paper though, the fact that this is state of the art of 2026 makes me reassure that no deep-learning based method is used now apart from GAFAM who can have more secret and advanced processes under their sleeves.
The fact the field is still advancing does not mean it is not mature; this stuff has been in use for decades. Yes, that 2026 paper i linked is about new techniques and not what is deployed today, but (as the other links explain) what is deployed today is quite capable.
This paper Dynamic Traitor Tracing was published in 1999, and includes descriptions of what was deployed even then in the broadcast setting (which imo is much more impressive than doing it on the internet). See also Dynamic Traitor Tracing Schemes, Revisited (2018) and Survey on Decentralized Fingerprinting Solutions: Copyright Protection through Piracy Tracing (2020) for links to lots more.
Huh? The first two links are describing the systems that are actually deployed today. Facebook admittedly doesn't say how they're doing it but they say that they storing >64bits in a way that survives not only transcoding but also editing; there are a lot of things Facebook says where I'd assume they're liars but I doubt they're bluffing in this case.
The second link helpfully explains how even encoding a single bit per segment (a segment might be a few seconds of video) is plenty to allow embeding a large unique ID over time. This approach obviously won't survive in short excerpts or other editing, but can easily survive scaling and transcoding and it is plenty sufficient for identifying the source of complete episodes:
Implementing this kind of watermarking system is cheap and trivial to do. Assuming that only GAFAM-scale actors can do it is naive.
