Artifact
Watch TrailerJared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars are caught in the jaws of a $30 million lawsuit filed by recording giant EMI. The camera tracks their every move—from the studio sessions, fraught with creative anguish and the search for a new sonic identity for the album *This Is War*, to the stark courtroom. This is more than a making-of documentary; it's a raw document of art colliding with a soulless corporate machine, a daily battle for the right to own one's creativity and define one's own destiny.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
*Artifact* peels back the glossy cover of the music industry to reveal its mechanics as a war zone. Jared Leto's directorial debut is an unflinching, personal examination of the price an artist pays for autonomy.
What lingers after the final frame is the unsettling reality of modern creativity—commodified, contested, and fiercely defended. It transforms a band's struggle into a universal cautionary tale about ownership in the digital age. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Jared Leto
Best Watched
The pressurized silence of the studio, the sterile glare of the courtroom, the electric crackle of a creative breakthrough.
