14 April 2026
A revised and enlarged version of Frida Kahlo, part of the Exhibition on Screen series, will return to cinemas, featuring fresh videos related to the upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Tate Modern.
With exclusive content from the major transatlantic exhibition "Frida: The Making of an Icon", the documentary now offers new perspectives on Frida Kahlo's lasting cultural influence.
Beyond her instantly recognizable image, the film explores the emotional depth and personal experiences that underlie Kahlo's extraordinary life and work. The documentary reveals the symbolism and narratives woven into Kahlo's paintings through letters written by the artist herself and analysis from top specialists.
Additionally, recently added content explores how Kahlo became a worldwide cultural icon, inspiring artists and creatives such as Mary McCartney, Amalia Mesa-Bains, and Yasumasa Morimura.
The film presents a close-up view of Kahlo's inventiveness, tenacity, and lasting impact by fusing professional commentary with excellent visuals and behind-the-scenes access.
