This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. Guided with interview, commentary and Frida’s own words, Exhibition on Screen uncovers that this, however, was not a life defined by tragedy. "Seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo..." Featuring key exhibitions and interviews with world renowned Kahlo curators, this film explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. Using cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage. We might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?

After Banquise (Ice Floe), his 2006 short film and in the wake of the worldwide success of Ma vie de Courgette (My Life as a Courgette) in 2016, Swiss filmmaker Claude Barras has taken up the subject of deforestation in a very personal ecological fable about an indigenous people who live at the heart of a tropical forest. Barras explains that he was also influenced by the Swiss activist Bruno Manser, who was participated in the defence of the Borneo Forest before disappearing suspiciously. While pointing the finger at the destructive actions of the food industry and the excessive exploitation of raw materials, the film also questions, without ever being didactic, the irresistible attraction that we have for modernity.
