While many films go on to become classics, not everybody can do it like Quentin Tarantino, especially considering he's a self-confessed 'thief'. And it was in 2003 that he decided to give something back from the spoils of 1970s Kung Fu flicks, with a bold film about a bride, out on a slashing trail of murderous revenge.
To talk about Kill Bill and what to expect from Quentin Tarantino in the future, Showcase is joined from London by Ian Nathan. He is an author and film critic who is writing a book titled 'Quentin Tarantino: The iconic filmmaker and his work' that will be published soon.
He did it again! It seems anonymous street artist Banksy is determined to keep making a name for himself. And his latest act of creation slash destruction has done that. On Friday, Sotheby's London says they got 'Banksy-ed'. 'Girl with Balloon' one of the most recognized and loved art pieces in the UK was among the items up for auction, but what happened after it was sold… has caused shockwaves across the artworld.
October is undoubtedly the artiest time of the year in London's cultural calendar. But when it comes to sheer size, visitors and prestige: Frieze Week tops them all. Featuring leading galleries, artists and collectors it's a week full of performances, lectures and of course, thousands of pieces of art.
To talk more about what was on offer at this year's Frieze Art Fair, Jean Wainwright joins Showcase from London. She is a professor of contemporary art and photography.
The largest cinema event of Anatolia's Mediterranean region has come to an end. This year's edition of the International Antalya Film Festival saw some of the biggest movies of 2018 in competition. And it's no surprise, the closing awards ceremony in itself was a glittery celebration of cinema.
To talk more about who ended up lifting the coveted Golden Orange Award and more, Showcase reporter Alican Pamir joins us in the studio after spending all of last week at the 55th International Antalya Film Festival.
When it comes to art, style or creative influences, the continent of Africa and the 54 countries contained within it cannot be described or classified as a single entity. And for the last six years, one fair in London has been showcasing as much of that diversity as possible, and at the same time bringing African artists to a global stage. Miranda Atty reports from London's Somerset House.
And to find out about how the 1-54 African Art Fair is putting the continent's art scene on the map, Showcase is joined by Alistair Hicks. He is the author of a book titled Global Art Compass, which takes readers on a world tour of contemporary art.
With so many of us living our lives on auto-pilot these days, we often times forget to stop, teach ourselves new tricks, or rethink how we do things. Challenging those norms is the whole idea behind this year's Istanbul Design Biennial, which is where we sent our very own Sharaz Ali, to see if he could make the grade.
