By April 2025 no feature film existed that audiences could not tell was AI-generated. The first AI-generated features to reach release — such as the Turkish documentary Post Truth (July 2025) and later festival entries like Hell Grind and Dreams of Violets (2026) — arrived after the deadline and were all overtly, recognizably AI-made rather than indistinguishable from conventional filmmaking.
