The award-winning and much-loved cinematic series that explores the
lives and artworks of some of history’s most revered and celebrated artists,
returns for a tenth season to select Ster-Kinekor and Cinema Nouveau cinemas
during 2023.
Working with top international museums and galleries, Exhibition On Screen create films which offer a cinematic immersion into the world’s best loved art, accompanied by insights from the world’s leading historians and arts critics.
The next screening in the current season of Exhibition on Screen
at select Ster-Kinekor and Cinema Nouveau cinemas will be Cézanne: Portraits Of A Life (Encore) directed
by Phil Grabsky
Screening dates are February 24, 25, 26 and 28, 2023, at Ster-Kinekor Gateway Commercial, Durban. Running time: 85 minutes
“Exhibition on Screen is thrilled to be bringing back one of its most successful ever films, dedicated to the life and work of Paul Cézanne. One cannot appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne,” say the organisers.
Filmed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, with additional interviews from experts and curators from MoMA in New York, National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, and Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps one of the least known and yet most important of all the Impressionists.

Mary Cassatt: Painting The Modern Woman
Directed by Ali Ray
Screening dates: March 31, April 1 - 4
Running time: 93 minutes
Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her.
Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a
major shift in the way women appeared in art. Presenting her astonishing
prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked
Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she
painted. She printed, sketched, and painted dozens of images of mothers and
children yet she never married or had children herself. She was a classically
trained artist but chose to join a group of Parisian radicals - the
Impressionists – a movement that transformed the language of art.
The world’s most eminent Cassatt curators and scholars help tell this
riveting tale of great social and cultural change; a time when women were
fighting for their rights and the language of art was completely re-written.
Mary Cassatt and her modern women were at the heart of it all.
Vermeer: The Blockbuster Exhibition
Directed by David Bickerstaff
Running time: 90 minutes
Screening dates: July 28, 29, 30 and August 1, 2023
In the spring of 2023, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam will open its doors

Little Street, Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid, and Woman Holding a
Balance.
This new Exhibition on Screen film invites audiences to a private view
of the exhibition, accompanied by the director of the Rijksmuseum and the
curator of the show. A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As well as
bringing Vermeer’s works together, both the Rijksmuseum and the Mauritshuis in
the Hague have conducted research into Vermeer’s artistry, his artistic choices
and motivations for his compositions, as well as the creative process behind
his paintings.
Directed by David Bickerstaff

Running time: 90 minutes
A thrilling encounter with one of the world’s great art capitals. Based
on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans
400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock
prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography,
Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets.
The exhibition was a smash-hit five-star success and brought a younger
and more diverse audience to the museum. The film uses the exhibition as a
launchpad to travel to Tokyo itself and explore the art and artists of the city
more fully. A beautifully illustrated and richly detailed film, looking at a
city which has undergone constant destruction and renewal over its 400-year history,
resulting in one of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the planet.
