Guests Expected
Director and editor Carla Gutiérrez and supervising editor David Teague are expected to attend for a post-screening Q&A moderated by Bonni Cohen
Description
An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind, and heart of the iconic artist Frida Kahlo, Frida is told through her own words for the very first time, drawn from her famed illustrated diary, revealing letters, essays, and candid print interviews— and brought vividly to life by lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable artwork. The feature film directorial debut of acclaimed editor Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, La Corona), Frida posits a striking context as to why the artist—and her art—remains as powerful as ever.
Covering more than 40 years of her life, the filmmakers received unrestricted access to research materials, much never shown to the general public before. What is extraordinary about Kahlo’s life and art is how her images would galvanize multiple generations of admirers worldwide, doing more than solidifying her status as a modern artist of timeless import.
