EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: MICHELANGELO: LOVE AND DEATH
22-05-2025 at 19:00
Certificate:
Synopsis
The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today.
Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo: Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy.
Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made.
“Cold stone and fire are such friends…"
Michelangelo BuonarottI

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: VAN GOGH: POETS AND LOVERS
07-11-2024 at 19:00
Certificate:
Synopsis
Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
£12 (or £6 for our Volunteers)
200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood.
This film is a chance to re-examine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters.
Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece.
Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.
Made in close collaboration with the National Gallery.

A determined, gifted 17-year-old musician, Zahia
has but one dream – to become a conductor.
Her twin sister Ferrouma is also a musician and
music is a life they share with the entire family.
Yet, in 1995, all odds seem to be stacked against
Zahia. She’s a woman, the daughter of Algerian
immigrants and comes from a working-class
background in the Paris suburbs. None of that
plays well at her stuffy Parisian conservatoire,
or at the competitions she embarks upon. Zahia’s
path is strewn with obstacles, but driven by
determination, passion, courage and the drive
to make symphonic music accessible to all the
sisters create their own orchestra – Divertimento
– based in their own Parisian immigrant
neighbourhood. It will be a game-changer.
Divertimento is inspired by the life of Zahia
Ziouani, one of the few worldwide renowned
female conductors.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: DAWN OF IMPRESSIONISM: PARIS 1874
20-03-2025 at 19:00
Certificate:
Synopsis
The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders.
1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.
What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.
Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C
