EXHIBITION ON SCREEN
2022 was a milestone for Exhibition on Screen as the award-winning company celebrated a decade of bringing art films to cinemas across the world. Since its launch Exhibition on Screen has released over 35 films and sold more than 4 million cinema seats across the globe from London to Los Angeles, Berlin to Brisbane, Caracas to Cape Town.
Its 2023 film VERMEER: THE GREATEST EXHIBITION was a sensational hit, becoming the biggest grossing documentary of its kind in UK cinematic history. The film won Event Cinema Campaign of the Year at The Big Screen Awards 2023.
Seventh Art Productions, the company behind the Exhibition on Screen series, won a BAFTA for Best Documentary and were nominated for another for Best Cinematography, along with many other prestigious awards.
Exhibition on Screen creates cinematic journeys into the personal and creative lives of history’s best-loved artists and their work. Amongst the roster to date are deep dives into the life and careers of Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, Lucian Freud, Rembrandt, Matisse, Munch and Manet.
The Dawn of Impressionism: Paris, 1874
Directed by Ali Ray – Produced by Phil Grabsky
The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.
What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.
Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
