EOS: Frida Kahlo

A film from the Exhibition on Screen series, originally created in 2020 and now featuring new content from the exhibition "Frida Kahlo: The Making of an Icon" at Tate Modern and MFA Houston in 2026.

The film traces the life and work of Frida Kahlo - the woman behind the vibrant colours, distinctive eyebrows, and flower crowns. Key works spanning her entire career are captured in the highest image quality, while through Frida Kahlo's own letters, the film reveals her emotions and the symbolism hidden within her paintings.

The film was created in close collaboration with leading experts and people who knew her personally. It offers access to her paintings, home, and studio, and explores the sources of her creativity, resilience, and passion for life, beauty, and revolution.
