Netflix’s ‘The Perfect Neighbor’ follows with six nods.

Liz Sargent’s feature debut, which won the 8th annual pitch event earlier this year and will premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival, wrapped filming last month.

From ‘Mission Impossible 8’ to ‘Megan 2.0’ and ‘Tron: Ares,’ Hollywood’s “evil AI” trope has fizzled at a time when warnings about real-life AI have never been more alarming.

The fest will open with three short docs that “set the tone for a festival that explores major issues of the present, that makes room for new voices, fresh forms, and unexpected perspectives.”

In ‘The Bigger Picture’ (out Nov. 4), the late producer details his working relationship with James Cameron, Rupert Murdoch’s ‘Titanic’ doubts and the first test screening that turned things around.

The program opens “a restless world where bold, author-driven works captivate with their search for balance and understanding — and demonstrate that documentaries can be even more engaging than fiction.”

Jessica Reynolds (‘Kneecap’), Michael Smiley (‘Bad Sisters’), and the weight of history also feature in the Film4-supported short, which world premieres at the BFI London Film Festival.

The European Film Academy unveiled its shortlist of contenders for the 2026 European Film Awards.

Margo Martindale and Natalie Portman are among the voice cast for this Phil Johnston-directed version of the beloved author’s ickiest book.

The Oscar winner says a documentary would “finally give us a chance to explain, in a meticulous way, why performance capture is the most empowering form of acting.”
