‘Frida’ Film Screening

We are pleased to announce that we are teaming up with the Broadway Cinema Club to bring you a screening of ‘Frida’ on the evening of Thursday 12th June.

FRIDA is a vivid cinematic rendering of the life of artist Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), released in 2002.

Dying at 47, Frida’s life was one filled with tragedy and turmoil far beyond her years. While undoubtedly helping to fuel her passion for painting, her relationship with fellow artist, husband, and sometimes mentor Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) is portrayed as tortuous on many levels. Frida is shown to follow his lead with both extramarital female partners and male partners, including Soviet political exile Leon Trotsky (Geoffrey Rush).

The time period of Frida’s life is one of great political strife and revolutionary ideals in Mexico, and the film seethes with the fervor of unrest. Her artwork is vividly woven into the film through digital transitions that seem to bring her paintings to life at times, or else incorporate her visual motifs into powerful dream sequences. It will captivate any viewer with even a passing interest in understanding the fevered lives of such great artists.

Running time 122 minutes. Suitable for age 16+

Doors open at 6:15pm and the film will start at 7pm

Tickets £6

Tickets can also be purchased on the door (card/cash)
