Post Truth Becomes The First AI-generated Film Released in Theaters
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 15, 2025, 03:41 IST Istanbul, Turkiye, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Post Truth, the first AI documentary of its kind, has officially entered cinematic history as the first fully AI-generated feature-length film ever to receive a commercial theatrical release. Alkan Avcıoğlu Photo The relationship between AI and cinema continues to spark debate, but until now, no AI-generated film had secured a traditional distribution and wide theatrical release. That changed with Post Truth, directed by pioneering artist Alkan Avcıoğlu. Distributed by Başka Sinema, Turkey's leading distributor for independent and arthouse cinema; the film opened on July 11 across 58 locations, marking an ambitious rollout for one of the most talked-about experimental projects of the year. The English-language film, with a runtime of 102 minutes, has already garnered critical acclaim. The critical prejudice against AI films remains, but Avcıoğlu's Post Truth has broken through with its conceptual depth, receiving rave reviews. Press interest has been substantial, and the film is attracting attention from festivals. Described as 'a fake film about the real world,' Post Truth examines how society has arrived at a moment where truth and reality no longer matter. 'At a time when the AI & cinema conversation is dominated by sensationalism, I chose to go in the opposite direction with a documentary,' said the director: 'In a world where so much is staged and fake, what could better represent our postmodern reality than synthetic images?' The visuals, music, and voice fully created through artificial intelligence for the project. The script was co-written with multidisciplinary artist Vikki Bardot over the course of two years and 42 drafts, drawing inspiration from Baudrillard's philosophy and weaving in intertextual references to film history. The final work emerged from over 60 hours of AI-generated footage and more than 1,000 AI-composed tracks, all influenced by Avcıoğlu's distinctive style and body of work. 'To ensure cinematic quality, he scaled the production volume far beyond what's typical in traditional filmmaking,' said Bardot, who also co-produced the film through Spongeworthy Studio. Post Truth is expected to have its international premiere this fall, as global attention continues to build for this milestone in the evolution of cinematic storytelling.

20 times Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte wore coordinating outfits
Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte often wear coordinating outfits in public. They have matched at royal events like Charlotte's christening and Prince Harry's wedding. Most recently, they both wore bow-adorned dresses at Wimbledon in July. There's nothing cuter than a mother-daughter matching moment — except for a royal mother-daughter matching moment. On Sunday, Kate Middleton, 43, and Princess Charlotte, 10, attended Wimbledon. They both wore dresses with bow detailing for the event, but it's far from the first time they've worn coordinating looks in public. Take a look at some of Kate and Charlotte's best matching looks from over the years. Kate Middleton matched Princess Charlotte for her christening. For Charlotte's 2015 christening, the Princess of Wales wore a white Alexander McQueen coatdress and a statement hat designed by Jane Taylor. Charlotte's pink dress complemented Kate's hat at Trooping the Colour in 2016. Charlotte wore a pink dress and shoes, as well as a pink barrette, to her first Trooping the Colour in June 2016. The ensemble coordinated with Kate's Philip Treacy hat, which she wore with a white dress. The pink hat popped next to Charlotte's ensemble. Later that year, the mom and daughter both wore blue for a visit to Canada. The duo stood out in white again for a 2016 ski trip. Soon after, they popped in shades of red together for Christmas 2016. Their outfits for Pippa Middleton's 2017 wedding complemented each other. Charlotte wore a white flower girl dress with a blush ribbon around her waist and a floral headpiece. Kate wore an Alexander McQueen hat and headpiece almost the same color as the belt on Charlotte's dress. Kate and Charlotte wore matching outfits on a 2017 trip to Poland and Germany. As they started the trip, Kate matched Charlotte and George in a blue A-line dress with button detailing on the waistline. Charlotte's floral dress and dark-blue shoes coordinated with her mother's dress, as did George's blue shirt and shorts. The pair wore pink together at Trooping the Colour in 2017. They opted for light-blue outfits at the 2018 event. When the royal family gathered for the 2018 Trooping the Colour, Kate wore a light-blue dress designed by Alexander McQueen. The dress had a square neckline and was cinched at the waist. Charlotte rocked a blue, floral dress that complemented her mother's ensemble. The duo both wore pale hues at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018. Kate's Alexander McQueen dress for the wedding was technically yellow, but it flowed seamlessly with Charlotte's white flower-girl dress. Meghan later revealed the flower-girl dresses were a source of tension between her and the Princess of Wales. Kate and Charlotte both wore pink, patterned dresses for a casual day in 2019. Charlotte's coat coordinated with Kate's accessories for their annual Christmas walk in 2019. Charlotte embraced the Christmas spirit in a deep-green jacket on the royal family's Christmas walk at Sandringham in 2019. The jacket coordinated with Kate's purse, shoes, and hat, which she wore with a gray, fuzzy coat. The mother and daughter wore the same shade of blue to an Easter service in April 2022. Kate wore an Emilia Wickstead coatdress to the service, which she had previously worn on a 2017 trip to Luxembourg. She paired the look with a darker blue hat and blue heels. Like her mother, Charlotte wore a bright-blue dress, though her Rachel Riley frock had a floral pattern and a Peter Pan collar. Her blue tights were also light blue, while her cardigan and Mary Janes were navy. Both Charlotte and Kate wore maroon coats to the 2022 "Together at Christmas" Carol Service. For the Carol Service, the Princess of Wales wore another of her signature coatdresses: a maroon, ankle-length piece from Epinone. Her shoes matched the dress. Charlotte also arrived in a maroon jacket with a fuzzy collar, which she paired with navy-blue tights. Charlotte's ensemble looked like a combination of her parents' outfits, as Prince William wore a blue suit and jacket with a maroon tie. The duo once again wore blue ensembles to a 2023 Easter service. The entire Wales family wore blue for the 2023 Easter service at Windsor Castle. Kate wore a recycled outfit for the event, donning a royal-blue Catherine Walker coatdress she previously wore to a Commonwealth Day service in 2022. A coordinating hat from Lock & Co., a blue purse, and nude heels completed the look. Charlotte wore a floral dress with a Peter Pan collar and puffy sleeves, pairing the spring frock with blue tights and Mary Janes. Kate and Charlotte wore navy and white ensembles at Trooping the Colour in June 2024. After months of public absence while undergoing chemotherapy, Kate attended her first royal engagement of 2024 at Trooping the Colour. She wore a white Jenny Packham dress with navy detailing on the high neckline and waist. A large bow popped on the neckline, and the Princess of Wales wore a matching blue and white hat designed by Philip Treacy. Charlotte's dress looked like a miniature, inverse version of her mother's. Her dress was navy with white detailing on the waist, sleeves, and neckline, and just like her mom's, it had a white bow on the neckline. The pair had a matching moment in red jackets at a Christmas celebration in December 2024. Kate and Charlotte had another twinning moment at the 2024 "Together at Christmas" carol service. Kate wore a red Alexander McQueen coat for the occasion, which had button detailing and a black bow at the neckline. She paired it with black boots. Charlotte also arrived in a red coat with buttons, which she paired with blue tights and black Mary Janes. Later the same month, they both wore green and blue tartan for their annual Christmas walk at Sandringham. Kate looked festive in an emerald green Alexander McQueen coat for the royal family's annual walk through Sandringham for Christmas in December 2024. She wore a coordinating hat, sported black boots, and carried a black purse, but the standout accessory of her look was a blue and green tartan scarf — which matched Charlotte's coat. Charlotte's coat had blue velvet on the collar, and she paired the statement piece with navy tights and black Mary Janes. They both popped in aquamarine at Trooping the Colour in June 2024. Kate's Catherine Walker coatdress had white detailing on the collar and sleeves. She wore a matching floral hat designed by Juliette Botterill with the bright dress, as well as an Irish Guards brooch. Charlotte's dress was a shade lighter than her mother's, but it also had white detailing on the neckline and waist. She also had a small pin on her dress. The princesses both wore dresses with bow detailing to Wimbledon in July 2025. Kate, William, George, and Charlotte attended the Wimbledon finals together in July 2025. The Princess of Wales wore a royal blue A-line dress with short sleeves and a bow-shaped ruffle on one shoulder. She also wore a bow pin. Charlotte's tea-length dress was white, though the bodice had ruffles trimmed with navy fabric. A bow sat on her waistline, mirroring the details on Kate's dress.

Damson Madder's Summer Collection Is Vacation-Ready — And On Sale
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. Welcome to New Arrivals, where R29 editors test out the latest pieces from their favorite brands and share their top looks. Whether you're overwhelmed by the number of places to shop or trying to hone in your personal style, come along as we explore 'fits, fabrics, styling potential, and more by sorting through the virtual and IRL shelves at our go-to shopping destinations. Ever since Damson Madder burst onto the fashion scene, there's been a 'Damson Maddening' at Refinery29, with at least one editor wearing a piece from the brand at the office at all times. Founded by Emma Hill in 2020, with a slower and more ethical approach to fashion, the brand has since become a go-to source for dopamine dressing. After becoming disillusioned with the high-street category, Hill wanted, as she told Refinery29 last year, 'to have a dress or blouse with extra things that are exciting. I wanted people to look and say, 'Oh my God, where did you get that lovely piece?' [but] I was disappointed by the quality of the product and the lack of responsibility taken.' Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength, and today you can't go to any buzzing brunch spot, weekend market, or beer garden without seeing the label's exaggerated collar blouses, quilted vests in funky prints, or milkmaid dresses. Known for its playful and vibrant style, the brand has gained popularity among celebrities, influencer,s and fashion insiders, with Anya Taylor-Joy, Emma Roberts, and Olivia Rodrigo all regularly spotted in Damson looks. The brand's summer 2025 collection includes plenty of Damson trademarks — denim, playful prints, bows and bold colorways — updated for the moment. You'll find trending cherry red, fruit prints, and corset-inspired lacing on the brand's clothing, with sizes ranging from 6 to 20. Here are our picks for the warmer months ahead. Bonus: Many of the picks are currently on sale. Depending on your height, the effortlessly cool Charlotte could be a midi or a maxi. (As someone petite, it's the latter on me, which I am all for; I'm a sucker for a long skirt.) The sky blue version is ultra-feminine but still laid-back (my sweet spot). Close up, you can see the embroidery-style flower details on the silky fabric, which is a lovely touch. The ruched panel at the waistline offers multiple points to adjust the fit — something all skirts should have — so you can alter the look and feel depending on the day and look. Pair with a simple white tee and sandals, and you're Aperol-in-the-park ready. Damson Madder New Arrivals: Pants, Shorts & Skorts The utilitarian skort that I used to sport back in high school has been given the Damson treatment. While I wasn't at first sold on the design, the lightweight denim in a pale wash is not only extremely flattering but also fun to wear. With the appearance of a wrap skirt and practicality of hot pant shorts, the Rory is perfect for a park chill, bike rides, and balmy summer evenings. Damson Madder New Arrivals: Dresses I, like many of the brand's fans, fell in love with Damson Madder for its dresses. I have never received so many compliments, been stopped in the street so many times, or felt as comfortable as I have in a Damson Madder dress. The Angelina midi is my new obsession. Made from 100% organic cotton, it features a fitted, laced bodice and voluminous skirt that creates a satisfying sway with every step. Feminine without feeling saccharine, it includes every girl's favorite dress feature: pockets. Yes, yes, and yes! Damson Madder New Arrivals: Swimsuits If festival season styl e is anything to go by, bikini tops are now just… tops. In the sweltering heat, why opt for anything other than a swimming top and gym shorts? (We can thank Charli XCX and the Brat Pack for this one.) Made from organic and recycled materials, this bow-adorned bandeau is that kind of bikini top that can be worn as part of a matching swimsuit set or on its own. Structured for support, with a playful design, it begs to be taken to the Italian Riviera — or, in my case, to Spain.
