A presentation of Exhibition On Screen’s “Frida Kahlo” will be screened on Saturday, June 13, at 5 p.m., at the Strand Theatre, in Rockland. A second screening will take place Tuesday, June 23, at 1 p.m. 

"Frida Kahlo is arguably the world’s favorite female artist – beloved by young and old," said a Strand Theatre news release. 

Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film was first released during Covid to a restricted audience, and is returning with new additions from the transatlantic exhibitions from Tate Britain and MFA Houston.  

Who was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face, but who was the woman behind the bright colors, the big brows and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true icon, discover her art, and uncover the true story of her rebellious, passionate and turbulent life. 

"Making use of the latest technology, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career," said the news release. "Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art." 

"Exhibition on Screen’s trademark combination of interviews with those who knew her and world experts, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art, combined with new special bonus footage from the 2026 Tate exhibition, delivers a treasure trove of color and emotion," said the release. "This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works, her home, and her studio, and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, beauty and revolution." 

Exhibition on Screen works with top international museums and galleries to create films which offer a cinematic immersion into the world’s best loved art, accompanied by insights from the world’s leading historians and arts critics.
