Summary

We catch up on the news - including the long-awaited ouster of Keir Starmer in the U.K., the slow death of the CBC in Canada, and the DSA victories in New York. Then, Will offers a report on the Cinema Shift Festival, an event ominously described as "Canada's First Curated AI Narrative Film Festival." So just how good (or bad) are AI-generated short films nowadays? Do real filmmakers have anything to fear? The answer may not surprise you.
