An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind, and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo told through her own words for the very first time, Carla Gutiérrez’s documentary Frida premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Drawn from her famed illustrated diary, the film reveals letters, essays, and candid print interviews — and is brought vividly to life by lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable artwork. The feature film directorial debut of acclaimed editor Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, La Corona), Frida posits a striking context as to why the artist – and her art – remains as powerful as ever.
