THE DUKE is the true story of Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, who stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.  It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. 
Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly - he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend.  Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies.  The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

not rated        94 minutes      in English         Directed by: David Bickerstaff

Along with the UK’s Ashmolean Museum’s remarkable Pissarro archive, it is through these intimate and revealing letters that this film reveals Pissarro’s life and work. With exclusive access to the most extensive archive of any Impressionist painter, and to the first major Pissarro retrospective in four decades, this documentary explores and highlights the enthralling and hugely important biography and output of an incredible artist.
