Turkish arthouse distributor Baska Sinema has acquired domestic theatrical rights to “A Woman Asleep,” an experimental English-language AI feature directed by pioneering artist and filmmaker Vikki Bardot.

Bardot is considered one of the early practitioners of photographic AI art and video art. She delivered a TEDx talk on AI and art in 2023, and her artworks have been exhibited worldwide, including New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Rome and Miami. Her AI short “Dreamt by Another” screened in more than 20 festivals and was recently acquired by Mubi for Turkey.
