Showcase

Do you remember when Garage Band first came out? We all took a stab at making songs on our computers, didn't we! It was so empowering to be able to compose music using our keyboards. Well in Ukraine, a group of musicians have taken things further by creating their own studio full of instruments, not on a laptop, but on a piano. And it's 200 hundred years old. Take a look.

Gil Bruvel completed his first oil painting at the age of twelve. Over the years he got away from the 2D approach and started creating works that have many sides and meanings with clean, sharp lines. And today his creations are not only simple but reflects deeply into the inner psyche between humanity and nature.

And to learn more, Showcase is joined by the artist himself, Gil Bruvel.

We've all had those days when nothing seems to go to plan and everything seems to be in the air. So now a new attraction is showing its visitors what that could actually look like but in a fun way. Showcase's Sharaz Ali went to have a look.

The 69th Berlin International Film Festival has come to an end. Dieter Kosslick's last outing as the event's director surprisingly left a sour aftertaste with festivalgoers. And a majority of the movies in the line-up received bad reviews from critics.

To learn more about them, Showcase is joined by film critic Alex Billington who was there at Berlinale 2019 all festival long.

Save for a few bands, it can be argued that the majority of male presence in punk music was about cutting it loose and avoiding responsibility. But when women claimed the movement as their own they turned punk on its head. And transformed it into a manifesto about female rights. These brave daredevils went around challenging a system that worked hard to ignore their voice.

To find out how it all happened, Showcase is joined by Vivien Goldman. Known as the 'professor of punk,' she is a journalist, writer and musician who is about to publish her new book 'Revenge of the She-Punks'.
