Image for the documentary Ghost in the Machine by Valerie Veatch. The title appears in large glitch-style rainbow text over a black-and-white close-up of a hand holding a set of mechanical eyes. At the top it reads “Official Selection 2026 Sundance Film Festival” and “A Film by Valerie Veatch.” A quote reads, “A necessary, radical, Molotov cocktail of a documentary.” Attribution: The Wrap. A small badge on the right says “Not AI.”
