Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) (15) (155mins)

In a remote island manor house in 18th century Brittany, young artist, Marianne is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of reluctant bride to be, Héloïse. Left alone by La Comtesse, Héloïse’s mother, their mutual attraction begins to develop. Scintillating, slow-burn period drama with affection and a sharp edge, gracefully handling the women’s flirtation and passion.

Doors open 7pm

****PLEASE NOTE***** Due to social distancing measures we have limited capacity so seating is arranged in 2m spaced "pods", with up to 6 seats in each pod. These pods mean people from the same household/family can sit together and 2m away from other households. The price for each pod is £15 whether you are alone of with 5 others from your household. See below for details of our COVID precautions and photo of the seating arrangements.

We are delighted to be able to finally welcome audiences back to Strathearn Arts after lockdown. Audience safety is of course our top priority. As part of our COVID 19 precautions, and in order to maintain social distancing, a new seating layout has been devised aimed at maximising the number of tickets available for each event. As a result, individual tickets will not be available for sale. Instead, you will be able to buy a seating "Pod" . Each pod can seat up to a maximum of 6 people. We are sorry that we need to put these restrictions in place but hope you understand and can support us as we try to bring events back to Strathearn - and maybe you will be able to encourage family or other members of close household "bubbles" to join you for the film.

Following a comprehensive COVD 19 Risk Assessment, we have taken the following measures:

• Daily professional cleaning including all door handles, tables, toilets, sinks and hard surfaces
• New signage throughout to aid social distancing
• Marked one-way system for moving around the auditorium
• Mandatory face-covering for staff, volunteers and audiences in line with government’s guidance for cinemas
• Hand sanitiser available at entrances/exits
• Test and protect contact tracing info required
• New socially-distanced seating layout and ticketing to ensure households are seated at least 2m apart

The new measures severely reduces our capacity and will make it nearly impossible for us to cover the costs of events without significant increases to ticket prices. We would therefore ask you, when buying your tickets, to also consider making a donation to help us through these difficult times. Thank You!
