Exhibition on Screen: "Frida Kahlo" - (Encore; NR; 1 hour, 48 minutes) - Frida Kahlo is arguably the world’s favorite 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. 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. Playing Thursday, May 28 at 7 p.m. and Friday, May 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets: $15 adult, $13 LT member, $5 youth.

"The Christophers" - (R; 1 hour, 40 minutes) - A quiet but incredible film – not to be missed! The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have an inheritance when he dies. A sly caper carried off with director Steven Soderbergh's characteristic panache, “The Christophers” is a superb two-hander featuring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel at their very best. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30; at 2 p.m. Sunday May 31 and Thursday, June 4 and Wednesday, June 3 at 2 and 7 p.m. Presented in partnership with Wanderwood.

"El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego" - A Met Live in HD premiere! - (Frank - Approx. runtime: 2 hours, 48 minutes; 1 intermission) On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker. Saturday, May 30 at 1 p.m. Tickets: $25 adult, $23 LT member, $5 youth.
