Thousands of movies are made around the world each year. But only a handful make it to the international arena. TRT's brand new project 12 Punto Script Days is aiming at helping Turkish movies break down barriers and gain international success. The first edition of the event wrapped up with eight film projects being given the kind of production and financial assistance that will help them go global.

'If we could see the miracle of a single flower, our whole life would change.' This is what The Buddha once said. Nowhere is this philosophy more evident and inspirational than at a gallery right here in Istanbul where a Turkish artist's unique portrayal of wildflowers is blossoming. Showcase's Sena Arslan went there to check it out.

In August of 1969, around half a million people flocked to a farm in upstate New York. Back then, no one knew that this three-day extravaganza, known as Woodstock, would spark a cultural revolution. In the past 50 years, this legendary music festival inspired dozens of books and several films, but now a new documentary is telling the story in an entirely new way.

Portugal has it all from historic cities and world-renowned beaches to fresh delicacies and of course the melancholic fado tunes. But what about one of the oldest libraries in Europe? Coimbra University needed a home for its huge book collection and so in the 18th century, with the help of King John the fifth, a baroque masterpiece was built to house these books. Now half a million people come every year to admire Joanina Library.

This next artist's work is anything but ordinary or mundane. She turns cooking pans into high-heels. Or she constructs a wedding ring from wheel-rims and drinking glasses. Portuguese artist Joanna Vasconcelos' two-decade-long career is now being celebrated in her home country with an exhibition of monumental-scale art installations called 'I'm Your Mirror'. We head over to a contemporary art museum in Porto now to see how she combines social critique with a sense of humour.

For refugees and migrants, trying to travel to Europe by sea is a nightmarish journey. There's a danger, hunger, thirst and of course the constant threat of drowning. While some make it, many don't. And with those that drown unlikely to be identified, thousands of bereaved families are left without answers. And now a London exhibition is putting migrants at the centre of the story. Miranda Atty takes a look.
