Water Lilies Monet: The Magic of Water and Light
Sunday, March 31 and Wednesday, April 3
Majestic Cinemas will be screening the art documentary Water Lilies of Monet on Sunday, March 31 and Wednesday, April 3.
Water Lilies of Monet was directed by Govanni Troilo and is a journey through the masterpieces and obsessions of the genius Impressionist.
When Claude Monet re-emerged from the depression that had led him to abandon painting, he devoted himself body and soul to his most colossal undertaking: The Grand Décoration - huge panels depicting his water lily pond, so all-enveloping that the viewer's gaze is lost in an atmosphere of serenity and peace.
This brand new and deeply immersive art film allows us to discover what gave Monet the inspiration to return to work, and to produce such a stunning and immortal work of beauty.
Follow the River Seine on a visually stunning journey from La Havre to Giverny and Paris, through influential moments in the life of the world's most influential painter, with astonishing up-close access to some of his greatest masterpieces.
Featuring special guest stars actress Elisa Lasowski (Game of Thrones), and presented with the exclusive participation of Ross King, author of the best seller Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies.
Special event prices apply, and any group of five or more can get discounted tickets if they call and arrange the group with Jessica (6568 6677 or jessica@majesticcinemas.com.au ) by Thursday, March 28.
Tintoretto: A Rebel in Venice
Sunday, May 12 and Wednesday, May 15
Majestic Cinemas will be screening the art documentary Tintoretto, A Rebel in Venice on Sunday, May 12 and Wednesday, May 15.
Venice 1576, the plague spreads rapidly. Those with money and property fled. But one man remains faithful to his city. He is Venice's most devoted painter -Tintoretto.
Tintoretto, A Rebel in Venice tells the story of the painter Jacopo Robusti, known as Tintoretto, from the early years of his artistic career until his death in 1594 in the city that inspired and challenged him.
This visually spectacular new art film explores Tintoretto as the true mirror of Venice. A one of a kind genius, open-minded, restless, brave and with a strong love for freedom, unstable and elusive, he reflected the true spirit of the lagoon city.
Now the artist dubbed "a proto rockstar" by David Bowie and "the first film director in history" by Jean-Paul Sartre can finally be experienced up close in a stunning state-of-the-art cinema experience, featuring special guest Peter Greenaway and narrated by Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter.
Special event prices apply, and any group of five or more can get discounted tickets if they call and arrange the group with cinema staff (6568 6677 or nambucca@majesticcinemas.com.au) by Thursday, May 9.
Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost
Sunday, June 9 and Wednesday, June 12
Majestic Cinemas will be screening the art documentary Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost on Sunday, June 9 and Wednesday, June 12.
In 1891, Gauguin left Marseille for the Pacific, marking the beginning of a journey towards the essence of life and art, and forging his destiny as one of the greatest modern painters who ever lived.
Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost will take us on the trail of a story that has become myth.
Through Tahiti and Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, we will experience the landscapes that inspired Gauguin, living amongst the locals whom he loved, in the places where he built houses with bamboo and leaves, and discovered light and colours which changed his painting forever.
This stunning state-of-the-art cinema event will also bring us to Paris, Bretagne, Edinburgh, and to the most prestigious art museums of the United States, where most of his masterpieces are preserved: The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; The Art Institute of Chicago; The National Gallery of Art in Washington; and The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
