Each quarter, the museum offers an art film. These films are rented from Exhibitions on Screen which is a company in England, Seventh Art Productions.
Seventh Art Productions is one of the UK’s leading independent producers of films for cinema, TV and digital platforms. For nearly 40 years it has worked with major British and international broadcasters and shown films in almost 100 countries, specialising in creating top-quality documentaries on art, history, social issues and classical music.
Based in Brighton, East Sussex, the company was founded in 1984 by BAFTA award-winning British filmmaker Phil Grabsky, who continues to write, direct and produce many of its films today.
In 2011 Seventh Art Productions created history when they brought major art exhibitions into cinemas across the globe with Leonardo Live from London’s National Gallery. This was the first ever exhibition from a gallery or museum on the big screen. This led on to Exhibition On Screen – creating from scratch a worldwide network of over 1500 cinemas showing regular arts films in over 60 countries. This hugely successful art cinema brand is now in its 11th season of films.
All films are on Sunday afternoon and begin at 2pm. Doors open at 1:30pm. Included in the ticket price are some snacks (especially chocolate).

October 18 – Leonardo DaVinci
This film is an unprecedented look at arguably the world’s most celebrated artist. Many feature films have showcased the genius of Leonardo but none have ever examined in such detail the most crucial element of all: his art. Leonardo’s peerless paintings are at the core of this film, offering unparalleled access for the first time. Amidst this collection of masterpieces, marvel at The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine, Ginevra de’ Benci, Madonna Litta, Virgin of the Rocks and what is widely considered the most famous artwork of all time – The Mona Lisa.
