Showcase

With Sundance behind us, we wanted to take a look at the indie movie scene. But most likely, the next Quentin Tarantino is not going to be discovered at a festival, unless he is working on a Marvel movie. Here's why.

Performance artist Marina Abramovic had said she will die performing. Well, she is 73 years old now, and going strong. She is in Istanbul to support a new generation of performers. Showcase's Esra Durust went to check out the Abramovic's iconic work alongside the newcomers.

Some consider it the British Oscars, while others say it is the last dress rehearsal for the Academy Awards. But this year's BAFTAs saw fierce competition among the usual suspects. And for one winner that is the problem with award shows.

Billie Eilish swept the Grammys this year. While her five gramophones are thanks to an experimental sound, it is possible she was able to create it because she is part of Generation Z. Several studies are showing that this group has a much more unique taste in music than previous generations. And we wanted to find out why.

One of the nominees for the Best International Film Oscar is a first time director from France, whose film Les Miserables is a searing indictment of police violence and discrimination against minorities in Paris' deprived suburbs. The film uses mostly amateur actors and was shot partly in the building where the director himself grew up. Elena Casas reports.

Brexit is likely to have a major impact on art and literature across Europe. But this is a story of uncertainty because from auction houses to book publishers, no one is sure what's going to happen.

Germany's Bauhaus movement inspired modern design across the world from architecture to typography. Somehow though, there aren't many physical examples here in Turkey. Well, that hasn't stopped a new exhibition in Istanbul that explores new interpretations of the movement and its transnational impact. Showcase's Sena Arslan checked it out.

The Berlin International Film Festival is celebrating its platinum anniversary this year. And the 2020 edition of the event offers movie buffs a rich selection that is very different from the line-ups of the Oscars, BAFTAS and Golden Globes. 18 movies are competing this year for the Berlinale's prestigious Golden and Silver Bear Awards. And independent and mid-sized movie studios get to show off their art-house biopics, mystery thrillers and epic dramas.
