This entertaining film by Sebastian Lopez tunes into the growing paranoia around AI. When a young man begins performing impressive gymnastics in the park, one of two men on a nearby bench suggests that what the duo are seeing is not in fact real. The impossibility of this strikes the other as absurd, and he takes on his friend and a gathering crowd who share his friend's suspicion.

For the character, it feels like a lifetime.

This is an important film aimed at parents of boys who are at a vulnerable stage of their development which makes them susceptible to toxic online content. Mots of the ad is a slow zoom towards the protagonist while Jim Johnson - the excellent voiceover artist - let's us know what he's looking at, and the striking thing is how life can be carrying on around someone who is being affected by this content, without their knowledge.

IKEA is inviting British Muslims to enjoy 'iftar at ours' in a culturally inclusive new piece of work. With Ramadan beginning on 17 February, the campaign’s timing couldn’t be better. More than two weeks in, many may be starting to feel the physical demands of fasting. And if going without food and drink during daylight hours isn’t challenging enough, having to break your fast while commuting only adds to the difficulty.

This Vibram commercial doubles as a handy reminder about Red Nose Day. The follow-up to last year's 'Toe Wrestling' spot, the brand's latest revolves around juggling (if Vibram had its way, both would be demonstration sports at the 2028 Olympic/Paralympic Games). When a street performer lets one ball go astray, other FiveFingers owners show what they can do.

Four criminals pick the worst day to rob a bank in this Indian-flavoured spot for Chicken Licken. It's 08:37 in Colaba, Mumbai, and the gang's ready to get out of Dodge. You'd think the cops would send all available units to the area, but why do that when General Raj is on patrol? As director Greg Gray shows, Raj is the only man you want on the case.

The North Face is leading the charge in redefining hiking with its latest commercial, created to resonate with a new generation of outdoor explorers.

Set deep in the wild, the film centres on the chemistry of a group of young people living freely, exploring, laughing, and embracing the moment together.

As album titles go, 'All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade' is a doozy. The fourth studio album by Of Monsters and Men, it offers director and animator Honor Price plenty to chew on. The result is a stop-motion music video that delivers two songs for the price of one—'The Block' and 'Mouse Parade'—and what a world Price and her team have crafted for them.

It's a good time to be Artur Wolgers. Not only is the Allsvenskan about to return (Wolgers loves Swedish football), but he's also completed a move to Partizan. When the company learned there was a chance to sign the comedy director, who's been around film sets and backlots since he was a nipper, they sure as hell jumped at it.

Unlike many people on LinkedIn, director Barney Rhodes keeps it short and sweet—his profile says, "I make stuff," so it's little wonder Rattling Stuff liked the cut of his jib.

Jack Links proudly declares it’s the number one snack for getting you attacked by wild animals. And is that any surprise when their beef jerky is 100% grass-fed and high in protein? Stranded in the middle of nowhere, Will Winter-Irving and Joe Ranallo tuck into the snack while they patiently wait for help. Unfortunately for them, the bear in this neck of the woods is particularly enterprising.

This short film by the one hundred twenty year old brand Saucony, asks the questions: why do we run? To win? To gain? To prove you can or simply because you can? Filmed in a one-shot sequence, the piece beautifully captures the experiences of different runners, whether they’re moving alone or as part of a collective. Some run for their mental or physical health, others to achieve PBs, and some just to catch a bus.
