Why watch?

Ever wondered where famous artists get their creativity from? In Hola Frida!, we get a unique look into the life of a young Frida Kahlo and her naughty dog Chiquita, as she faces her illness and disability with overflowing imagination. Vibrant and sparkling, this whimsical animation shows us how embracing our differences can inspire the world.

Frida lives in Coyoacán, Mexico with her beloved dog Chiquita. When faced with difficulties, she responds to them the only way she knows how: with overflowing imagination and creativity. Covering her early years after contracting childhood polio, Hola Frida! paints a vibrant picture of the tenacious little girl who would grow up to be one of the world’s most famous artists.

Get creative before our screening at 10:00 on Sunday by colouring in your own Frida - a fun, hands-on warm-up inspired by the world of Hola Frida! 

Our Sunday morning Hyde & Seek screenings at 11:00 in Screen Two are Autism friendly. These relaxed screenings are intended to provide a safe environment for neurodiverse audiences and anyone who finds standard screenings challenging. They feature prompt start times, raised lighting, reduced volume and a relaxed attitude to noise/moving around. To give audiences extra space, we reduce the capacity at these screenings, so pre-booking is advised as they often sell out.
