Where exactly is the Salvator Mundi? The painting by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci was purchased a year and a half ago for 4 hundred million dollars, making it the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction. The person who discovered it called the painting an image of Christ as the saviour of the world. The rarest thing on the planet by the greatest human being who ever lived'.

Due to the unique way, it's experienced collectively in a dark and intimate environment, the medium of the film actually has the great potential of opening its audiences' eyes and minds to the realities of other people's lives. Unfortunately though, this potential, more often than not, is drowned out by cinema's main role as an entertainment medium. But TRT World is challenging this norm with its annual short film competition.

150 years ago, the Vienna State Opera formally opened its curtains with Mozart's 'Don Juan'. Under the rule of the Habsburg Monarchy, the opening brought a renewed interest to the 'Ringstrasse'. The city's arts and culture hub is simply known as 'The Ring'. Since then, the opera house has remained one of the world's most prestigious is home to an extraordinary array of artists as well as legendary artistic directors like Gustav Mahler and Herbert von Karajan.

He was shot at, during an interview and survived. Saved a Hollywood star from a car crash. Ate his shoe after losing a bet, and described Jean-Luc Godard's movies as "intellectual counterfeit money when compared to well-made kung-fu flicks". And now, director Werner Herzog has been appointed for a lifetime achievement prize by the European Film Awards. Because of that, Showcase's Alican Pamir decided to better acquaint you with the off-beat antics and groundbreaking film work of this quirky artist.

The Whitney Biennial is more than just an art event. Instead, it's seen as a barometer of the contemporary art landscape in the United States. Curators Jane Panetta and Rujeko Hockley have compiled works from 75 North American artists to give audiences a sense of what is inspiring them today. And as William Denselow reports from New York, a number of modern art pieces on display are looking to the past to reimagine the world around us.
