This week on At the Pictures, we’re taking a short break for the Bank Holiday — time to enjoy a little sunshine here in Soho. But before we disappear into the weekend, we’re sharing a special preview of a new series: Dorothyland.

Marking 100 years since the release of the original Ben-Hur, the series begins with the story of Ramon Novarro — one of Hollywood’s first great leading men, and a quietly radical figure whose identity defied the norms of his era.  

While conversations about diversity in cinema often feel distinctly modern, Dorothyland reveals a forgotten history of queer creatives who helped shape popular culture from the very beginning.  

Dorothyland is coming soon. Tune in now for a sneak peek, and we’ll return next week with a fresh edition of At the Pictures.
