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.
Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
Directed by David Bickerstaff – Produced by Phil Grabsky
200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood.
This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters.
Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.
Made in close collaboration with the National Gallery.
This event will be held in our new 'Ellipse Room'.
Tickets are £12pp or £20 including nibbles & a drink.
