Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874

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. Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

Pygmy Twylyte

So prolific was Frank Zappa's output, that it is nearly impossible to present a representative sample of his work in just one concert. Over the course of his life, and since his death in 1993, over one hundred official Zappa albums have been released, alongside countless bootlegs. These range from 60’s psychedelia with the Mothers of Invention, Jazz and Rock material tinged with Zappa’s own inimitable spin, through to orchestral compositions performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, among others. Navigating the vast Zappa oeuvre then is no mean feat, but Scotland’s Pygmy Twylyte have embraced the challenge with gusto. Since their inception in 2018, the band have selected a core body of classic material, complemented with a rotating offering of more obscure cuts, and blasted this to delighted audiences across the UK. With guitars, keyboards, saxes and multiple vocalists at their disposal, the band has a (stink)foot planted in the camp of several of Zappa’s most memorable touring line-ups. Head down to nod along to rock numbers, lose count during jazzy interludes (after all, it’s not dead – it just smells funny) and evade the infamous Frunobulax!

Simon Yates - Pleasure & Pain

‘Touching the Void’ mountaineer, Simon Yates, is a veteran of over eighty expeditions to high/remote mountains around the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. This is his story of the last decade, of new adventures and climbs in the far north and south, along with summits in South America, Central Asia and the Himalaya. In 2023, Simon travelled with legendary British mountaineer Mick Fowler to attempt the un-climbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan, but contracted food poisoning from their freeze-dried food on just the second day. After some debate, they continued, but this was just the beginning of a series of events that would see them run out of food, retreat below the summit in a storm and Simon taking a bone-breaking 100m fall during the descent. After two days of lying on the glacier waiting for a helicopter, rescuers finally arrived but were unable to carry Simon down. Somehow, he would need to summon the energy for the painful three day walk to safety. A survival classic, with the added twists of a fast-paced thriller.

Tales From The Borderlands

Tales from the Borderlands is a show that crosses over from the Scottish Borders to realms beyond - known, unknown, real and fantastical. A 60-minute traditional storytelling show, we take the audience on a journey exploring their own histories, and those of others, through different borders, both physical and metaphysical. A collaboration between Ryan Martin, a resident of the Scottish Borders, who’s stories explore the Borders themselves and the borders between this realm and the realm of the faerie; Kate Walters, who tells stories from her home in England, in the marshlands that blur the borders between land and sea; and Neel Paul, from India, who’s stories explore the borders between life and death, all set in the backdrop of the partition of Bengal. Tales from the Borderland is a celebration of the spaces between countries and regions, between identity and belonging, and between the real and the unknown. And at its heart, it is a celebration of our home - the Scottish Borders. The show is aimed at 14+, and hopes to bring thrills, laughter, legends and mythology to an audience in Peebles.

Tim Stead: Magician With Wood

Tim Stead was one of Scotland’s most innovative wood sculptors and furniture designers. The film follows his widow Maggy’s rollercoaster journey to protect the future of The Steading - the extraordinary home Tim sculpted from wood which is now Category A listed in the Scottish Borders – and his extensive furniture and sculpture collection. Maggy wants to retire to France. Her pension plan has always been to sell The Steading. An estate agent advises her that the house is so special it must be protected for the Nation. To this end, the Tim Stead Trust is formed. As they battle to raise enough money to buy the Steading from Maggy, through the remarkable stories of the passionate people Tim worked with the film explores how Tim developed as an artist and created some of Scotland’s most popular public art, including the formation of Café Gandolfi in Glasgow and the Millennium Clock in the National Museum of Scotland. The film also explores how Tim believed in putting back in more than he took out. He wanted to plant trees to replace what he used. With a group of pals, he established the first community woodland in Britain which kickstarted the community land ownership movement in Scotland. Ultimately, the film inspires people to live creatively and sustainably with native trees. It is a film with a head and a heart, with themes of love, friendship and wonder underlying it.

Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers

200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery 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.
