Showcase

Founded back in 1995, the Sarajevo Film Festival debuted during the Bosnian war, while the capital was still under siege. Since then, it's become the biggest event of its kind in southeast Europe. Movie industry insiders say the Sarajevo festival has a reputation for being an important springboard for productions with a strong moral message.

With so much to look forward to at the 24th edition of the festival, Showcase is joined by its director Mirsad Purivatra from the Bosnian capital.

Self-titled 'the most Colombian of Colombian artists', Fernando Botero is best known for paintings and sculptures of rotund, inflated human and animal shapes. But his signature style known as 'Boterismo' wasn't born by just the simple flick of a finger. And that's exactly what a new exhibition in Bogota is trying to show.

A temple just outside Tokyo celebrates all things cat and not just every August 8th, but rather, every single day of the year. Once on the grounds, visitors are greeted by thousands of "Maneki Neko" - beckoning cats that can be found not just here, but outside of stores and restaurants across Japan.

Austrian director Billy Wilder was among the first wave of immigrant filmmakers to make a major mark in Hollywood. He not only brought a European sensibility to Tinseltown but also helped modernize the language and idioms used to tell stories in Hollywood. To celebrate the anniversary of Sunset Boulevard, his acclaimed satire of that dream factory, we decided to bring you a career retrospective of this rule-breaking auteur.

And to speak more about Billy Wilder, Showcase is joined by James Scott Linville. He is a screenwriter and has previously interviewed Billy Wilder for the Paris Review.

In case you didn't already know, August 8th is International Cat Day. Despite currently ruling the internet, cats have been an indispensable part of our lives for millenia. The world's obsession with the four-footed felines is nothing new. And long before people started recording their antics on video, artists have been capturing their likeness on a myriad of other formats.

Nearly five years have passed since we said goodbye to one of television's greatest shows: Breaking Bad. To fill the void, producer and writer Vince Gilligan created a prequel to the series, this time focused around a morally-compromised lawyer, as opposed to a morally compromised meth maker. Now in its fourth season, Better Call Saul, follows the story of Saul Goodman, before he eventually became TV's most corrupt attorney.

To discuss the new season, and what lies ahead, Showcase is joined by Kenny Herzog, an Entertainment Journalist who recaps Better Call Saul for Vulture.
