SUMMARY:Exhibition On Screen: Frida Kahlo
DESCRIPTION:Frida Kahlo is a phenomenon. She is arguably the world’s favourite female artist – beloved by young and old. Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film – first released during covid to a restricted audience – is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and MFA Houston ‘Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon’.  Back in the cinemas in May 2026\, one month before the Tate exhibition opens\, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show. \n  \nWho was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face but who was the woman behind the bright colours\, the big brows and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true icon\, discover her art\, and uncover the true story of her rebellious\, passionate and turbulent life. \n  \nMaking use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality\, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us\, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art. \n  \nExhibition on Screen’s trademark combination of interviews with those who knew her and world experts\, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art\, combined with new special bonus footage from the 2026 Tate exhibition\, delivers a treasure trove of colour and emotion. This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works\, her home\, her studio and highlights the source of her feverish creativity\, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life\, beauty and revolution. \n  \nCreated in close collaboration with world experts and those who knew her. \n  \nAdditional new material from the curators of the groundbreaking new Tate Britain and MFA Houston exhibition. \nOFFICIAL TRAILER | Frida Kahlo (2020)
