Then Sunday builds up to the big performance on the Dragon's stage at 4pm.

Based on an extraordinary true story, 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 tells how a group of London-based gay and le***an activists raised money to support the families of minders during the strike of 1984. Identifying a mining village in Wales, they set off to make their donation in person, and in so doing inspired 'the best British film in years' (Glamour).

Frida Kahlo is a phenomenon. She is arguably the world’s favourite female artist – beloved by young and old. Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film – first released during Covid to a restricted audience - is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and MFA Houston, 'Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon'. Back in the cinemas in May 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show.

Who was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face, but who was the woman behind the bright colours, 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 to deliver previously unimaginable quality, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. 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 colour and emotion. This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works, her home, her studio and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, beauty and revolution.

Created in close collaboration with world experts and those who knew her.
Additional new material from the curators of the groundbreaking new Tate Britain and MFA Houston exhibition

𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬

Some bands can't be managed!

A fast-living, cynical London music executive (Danny Mays) heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he's pranked by his boss (Noel Clarke) into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate fish out of water as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton) who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. As he s drawn deeper into the traditional way of life he's forced to re-evaluate his own integrity and ultimately question what success really means.

This is a disability-relaxed screening and all are welcome. This means we dim the lights but don't turn them off, we lower the sound, you are welcome to talk and move around, subtitles are on (when available), and we offer free tickets to carers. And of course our bar is open with hot and cold drinks and snacks. The auditorium is fully accessible, with wheelchair spaces and an accessible toilet.

𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 is a 2025 British drama film written and directed by Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor in her directorial debut. The film, starring Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo follows her as Isio, who is caught working without papers, trapped inside Hatchworth, where she learns that finding love, friendship and freedom sometimes means doing the wrong things.

Nigerian migrant Isio, detained in the United Kingdom’s Hatchworth Removal Centre after living illegally for two years, hopes her asylum request will be fairly reviewed. Committed to following the rules, she resists the escape plans of her roommate and love interest, Farah. As her asylum is repeatedly denied, Isio’s faith wavers, but unforeseen challenges force her to take matters into her own hands. Though freedom remains out of reach, Isio and Farah’s love endures.

Running time 1hr 18 mins
