Exhibition on Screen: Frida12A
Who was Frida Kahlo? Instantly recognisable for her vivid self-portraits, signature brows and flower crowns, Kahlo was far more than a cultural icon. This documentary journeys through her extraordinary life and work, exploring the passion, politics and personal struggles that shaped one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Blending groundbreaking exhibition footage with expert insight, this acclaimed film from Exhibition on Screen examines Kahlo’s most important works in remarkable detail. Guided by letters written in her own words, it reveals the emotions, symbolism and deeply personal stories behind her art. Returning to cinemas with new material from the major transatlantic exhibition Frida Kahlo: The Making of an Icon, developed by Tate Modern and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this award-winning documentary offers an intimate portrait of a revolutionary artist whose legacy continues to resonate today.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
