Needless to say that in 2026 there is no shortage of tough talks and hard truths to exhume. So far in its third outing, the most popular submissions are proving to be especially bitter pills for an independent artist to swallow. “I’m sick of takeaways and I’m sick of talking around games and never dipping below the surface,” writes this year’s host cecile richard in the Manifesto…

Anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a long, enraged social media response to a New York Times article reporting that health department insiders think Kennedy is disengaged from the work of his sprawling agency. His response, however, seems to back the Times’ claim. The report, published Sunday, June 7, relied on accounts from a dozen people who have had direct contact with Kennedy during his time as health secretary. Collectively, the sources indicate that Kennedy has little interest in the details of the health department’s work and little direct interaction with career staff. Kennedy misses critical, regularly scheduled…

(Some spoilers below but no major reveals.) The first half of the film is essentially a political thriller—shades of 1974’s The Parallax View and similar films—as global tensions have the world teetering on the brink of World War III. A…
