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 curators of the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Modern 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.
Who was Frida Kahlo? Beyond the vivid colors, bold brows, and floral crowns lies the story of a rebellious, passionate, and turbulent life.
This film explores her art and emotions through her letters, uncovering the secrets and symbolism within her work. With expert interviews, intimate access to her home and studio, and new footage from the curators of the 2026 Tate Modern and MFA Houston exhibition, it offers a powerful portrait of Kahlo’s creativity, resilience, and lust for life.
