Niki de Saint Phalle on the big screen: a powerful portrait of freedom, color, and resistance

On September 27, 2026, the Neuneinhalb Art and Culture House in Bayreuth will present the film Cinema is Program: Niki de Saint Phalle (Subtitled). This cinematic portrait approaches an artist who shaped a distinctive visual language from biographical injury, making art history with her Nana figures, shooting pictures, and large-scale projects.

An artist who transformed the private into the political

Niki de Saint Phalle is among the prominent, unmistakable voices of the 20th-century avant-garde. Her work unites painting, sculpture, performance, and public art into a powerful, often festive, yet deeply critical aesthetics. The film explores the tension fields where liberation, memory, and the will to form intersect.

From the Tirs to the Nanas: a distinctive visual world

Particularly impressive is the journey from the early shooting pictures to the vibrantly confident body images of the Nanas. These works made Niki de Saint Phalle internationally renowned and anchored her in Nouveau Réalisme. Her art continues to resonate today: as a plea for female self-determination, as an attack on rigid role models, and as an invitation to see the world through different eyes.

Why this film is particularly well-placed in Bayreuth

The Neuneinhalb Art and Culture House stands for cultural education, low-threshold access, and a vibrant program between cinema, exhibitions, and discourse. In this environment, the film unfolds its full impact: as a work examination in the medium of film, as an aesthetic experience, and as a catalyst for conversations about art, society, and emancipation.

An evening for art lovers, film enthusiasts, and the curious

Those interested in modern art, artist biographies, and the history of female perspectives in art will find here a compact, inspiring access. The portrait not only showcases an extraordinary biography but also the emotional and social power of artistic self-assertion.

Conclusion: This cinema evening promises an intense encounter with an icon of modernity, whose work continues to provoke, touch, and liberate today. A visit to Neuneinhalb is worthwhile for all who want to not just see art but experience it.
