'Exhibition On Screen' Art Film Series Returns to the Park Theatre With 2024 Season

The acclaimed documentary series about art and artists, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN (EOS), returns to The Park Theatre in Jaffrey with its start of its 2024 series.

The 2024 eleven film series opens with a screening of  Klimt and The Kiss on Wednesday, February 14 at 1:30pm. Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials ever since it was created. But just what lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist that created it?  Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement, creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality, ancient mythology and radical modernity.

The EOS Series at The Park Theatre continues with Easter in Art (March), John Singer Sargent (April), The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism (May), My National Gallery: London (June), Rembrandt (July), Raphael Revealed (August), Young Picasso (September), Canaletto & The Art of Venice (October), Cézanne (November), and Matisse: From MoMA & Tate Modern (December).

All films will be screened in the 333-seat Eppes Auditorium with its 27-foot wide giant screen and 17-speaker surround sound.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN is the originator and pioneer of bringing exhibition-based art films to the cinema.

“We have been so proud to present this thrilling art documentary series from the UK. We have even deeper pride that the public has become so smitten with the series. Patrons feel they belong to an art appreciation club and they love discussing the films and artists before and after each screening. Our ‘Lunch at The Park’ program before each screening also adds to the camaraderie of the event.” said Steve Jackson, CEO & Managing Director of The Park Theatre.
