EOS: Frida Kahlo

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

Who was the woman behind the vibrant colours, striking eyebrows, and flower crowns? The film traces her life through her own letters, in which Kahlo reveals her deepest emotions, and explores the symbolism hidden in her work. Key paintings are captured in the highest image quality using the latest technology.

The film offers access to her paintings, home, and studio, and was created in close collaboration with leading experts and people who knew her personally.
