The Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center is thrilled to present Frida, a groundbreaking 2024 documentary that brings the legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s story to life like never before. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, Julia), this visually stunning film weaves together Kahlo’s own words, archival footage, and mesmerizing animation to offer an intimate look at one of the most iconic and revolutionary women in art history.
Through Frida, we witness Kahlo’s raw and deeply personal artistic expression as she transforms pain into beauty. The film chronicles her journey—from the tragic accident that shaped her life to her passionate yet tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera, and her groundbreaking work that defied convention. Featuring snippets from her personal writings and rare interviews, Frida offers a dynamic and immersive portrait of a woman who refused to be defined by her struggles and instead redefined art itself.
Critics have praised Frida as “beguiling” and “a dynamic documentary portrait” that captures the vibrancy, complexity, and unapologetic spirit of Kahlo.
Why This Matters—And How You Can Help
Women’s stories deserve to be told, shared, and celebrated. Kahlo’s legacy is one of resilience, self-expression, and fearless defiance—qualities that continue to inspire generations. Frida is just one of the incredible films we are showcasing for Women’s History Month, highlighting the contributions of trailblazing women who changed the world.
But we can’t do it alone. Help us spread the word! By attending, sharing, and inviting others, you become part of a movement to elevate these powerful stories. Let’s ensure that the voices of women like Frida Kahlo continue to inspire and empower.
A short discussion will follow screening.
