Caravaggio

Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious death, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Multi-award-winning film makers Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing selfdepictions within his works – sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight – offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery – one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? Join us as we explore the many clues that help us to finally understand the life – and death – of this remarkable man.

Civic Society: Town and Country Planning in the Scottish Borders, 1946-1996

This Peebles Civic Society talk will be by Douglas Hope and is based on his recently released book Town and Country Planning in the Scottish Borders, 1946-1996: From Planning Backwater to the Centre of the Maelstrom. The book shows how planning in the Scottish Borders was transformed from a fringe activity in local government to a central tool in meeting the challenge of rural depopulation and sustainability amidst social, political and economic upheaval. This topic is very relevant to the activities of the Peebles Civic Society and planning concerns within the community. Douglas Hope has been a town and country planner for over 50 years. He has worked for both central and local government in Scotland, principally at Borders Regional Council between 1975 and 1996, where he was Depute Director of Planning and Development, and the Scottish Government’s Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals.

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 June 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show. Who was Frida Kahlo?

Caravaggio

Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious death, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Multi-award-winning film makers Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing selfdepictions within his works – sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight – offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery – one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? Join us as we explore the many clues that help us to finally understand the life – and death – of this remarkable man.

Civic Society: Town and Country Planning in the Scottish Borders, 1946-1996

This Peebles Civic Society talk will be by Douglas Hope and is based on his recently released book Town and Country Planning in the Scottish Borders, 1946-1996: From Planning Backwater to the Centre of the Maelstrom. The book shows how planning in the Scottish Borders was transformed from a fringe activity in local government to a central tool in meeting the challenge of rural depopulation and sustainability amidst social, political and economic upheaval. This topic is very relevant to the activities of the Peebles Civic Society and planning concerns within the community. Douglas Hope has been a town and country planner for over 50 years. He has worked for both central and local government in Scotland, principally at Borders Regional Council between 1975 and 1996, where he was Depute Director of Planning and Development, and the Scottish Government’s Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals.

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 June 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show. Who was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face but who was the woman behind the bright colours, the big brows and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true icon, discover her art, and uncover the true story of her rebellious, passionate and turbulent life. Making use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art. 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.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.
