In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for arts sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art.

Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works.

A record of one of the greatest survival stories in the history of exploration, now considered the world’s first documentary feature, screening as part of Hexham Abbey Festival of Music & Arts.

In 1914, the Endurance sailed from Buenos Aires taking British explorer Ernest Shackleton and his 28-man crew to land on then cross Antarctica via the South Pole. Disaster struck and Endurance, trapped in pack ice, drifted northward throughout a long, dark Antarctic winter, the ship slowly being crushed by the ice. Onboard, pioneering photographer/film maker, Frank Hurley, captured sensational footage of the Antarctic, the ship and crew (who all survived) giving cinema audiences the first moving images of the staggering beauty of this remote and alien continent. This was as astounding then as seeing images of distant planets is to us today. The film, painstakingly restored to wonderful quality by The BFI National Archive, was a sensation and continues to be an astonishing feat of film-making telling of an astonishing feat of endurance.

With live music from Jonny Best, one of the UK's leading improvising silent film pianists and the founding artistic director of Northern Silents, this is an unmissable and memorable movie matinee experience.
