Art and culture aficionados will find plenty to like in upcoming films at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center, encompassing beloved works of painting, sculpture and literature new and old.
The films:
Klimt and the Kiss, Thursday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 28, at 1 p.m. Part of the Exhibition on Screen series that produced I, Claude Monet, this film takes a deep look not only into the erotic and mysterious painting but also Klimt himself and his Viennese surroundings. "Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown couple embracing has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials ever since it was created," states the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, Thursday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 12, at 1 p.m. T.S. Eliot is considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, and Four Quartets his masterpiece. Ralph Fiennes takes to the stage to deliver what The Los Angeles Times calls "a multi-course feast of concentrated flavors: mesmerizing language, masterly invocation and the kind of poetic imagery that, in the hands of a great actor, feels like a direct line from Eliot's pen to our mind's landscape."

Rivers and Tides, Thursday, May 9, at 7:30 p.m. Sculptor Andy Goldsworthy makes art that intentionally doesn't last. His materials include snow, grass, stones and clay, which he uses outdoors, allowing them to be changed by nature. "We grab at beauty while simultaneously realizing it never can be possessed, a feeling brilliantly captured in this thoughtful and rewarding movie," says the Rocky Mountain News.
The Lindsay, an independent, nonprofit organization, is located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.
