Bauhaus: A New Era premieres on Tuesdays, and The Graham Norton Show returns days after the UK: Film&Arts reveals January highlights.
Film&Arts kicks off the year with a lineup that moves across film, music, and the performing arts. In January, the channel rolls out premieres and specials spanning series, movies, documentaries, opera, dance, and concerts—international productions that connect auteur cinema, stage arts, and major names in contemporary culture.
Series: Bauhaus takes center stage
The month’s headline series is Bauhaus: A New Era, airing Tuesdays at 10pm. Set in the aftermath of World War I, the miniseries follows the rise of the Bauhaus school of art and design, founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Weimar.
The story unfolds through Dörte Helm, a young art student who joins the brand-new school and is drawn into a movement that challenged artistic norms—and the social and political order around them. As Bauhaus becomes a hub for experimentation, modernity, jazz, bold architecture, and feminism, its members face financial strain, ideological clashes, and conservative pressure threatening its survival.
Dörte’s relationship with Gropius, shaped by scandal and conflict, becomes a key thread, underscoring the cost of keeping alive a school that would define 20th-century aesthetics.
Also returning is The Graham Norton Show, with a new season on Fridays at 9pm. Film&Arts airs it exclusively across Latin America, just a few days after its UK premiere, preserving the signature mix of sharp humor and free-flowing celebrity interviews.
The long-running format keeps its famous “red chair” moment and the steady stream of A-list guests. Stars frequently associated with the show include Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Nicole Kidman, Matt LeBlanc, Rebel Wilson, Martin Freeman, Ewan McGregor, and James McAvoy.
Movies: “Veneza” brings Brazilian drama
On the film slate, Veneza premieres Friday, January 16, at 10pm. Directed by Miguel Falabella, the Brazilian drama follows Gringa, a brothel owner in the countryside who is blind and seriously ill—and determined to fulfill one final wish: to find the only man she ever loved and ask forgiveness for leaving him decades ago.
To get her to Venice—the city that embodies that past—Tonho, Rita, and the women who work with Gringa devise an unlikely plan, aided by a circus troupe, weaving memory, tenderness, and farewell into the journey.
Opera: “Fanny and Alexander” reimagined
On Sunday, January 11, at 6pm, Film&Arts airs Karlsson – La Monnaie | Fanny and Alexander (premiere). Inspired by Fanny and Alexander, the La Monnaie production delivers an intense operatic reading, blending music, storytelling, and family conflict.
The staging stands out for its emotional character work and its translation of a classic narrative into contemporary opera language.
Documentaries: Miho Hazama and Tim Burton
On Sunday, January 18, at 8pm, The Curious Story of Miho Hazama premieres. The documentary traces the rise of the young Japanese composer and conductor who has become one of jazz’s most promising international names.
Recognized in the United States as one of 25 emerging stars set to shape the genre’s future, Hazama currently serves as principal conductor of the DR Big Band. With classical training in Japan and a decade of experience in New York City, she builds a bridge between tradition and innovation.
Later in the month, on Thursday, January 29, at 8pm, Film&Arts premieres Icons of Cinema: Tim Burton – The Inner Monster. The new episode explores Burton’s work through childhood wounds, fantasy, and a recurring cast of outsiders deemed “abnormal.”
From early projects to films associated with his universe—such as Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Batman, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—the documentary examines how Burton built a singular visual identity where “monsters” become heroes who challenge social ideas of normality.
Dance: Vivaldi performed from within the orchestra
On Sunday, January 25, at 7:30pm, Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Danced premieres. Conductor Julien Chauvin, leading Concert de la Loge, offers a narrative, theatrical take on The Four Seasons, restoring the score’s dramatic and sensory core.
With choreography by Mourad Merzouki, dancers move inside the orchestra itself, creating an audiovisual experience that fuses music, motion, and stage space—without shifting focus away from the music.
Concerts: Arturo Sandoval at Jazzopen Stuttgart
Also on Sunday, January 25, at 6pm, Classical and Pop Concert Series – Arturo Sandoval | Jazzopen premieres. The program features the Cuban trumpeter in a performance recorded at Jazzopen Stuttgart in Germany.
Set against the Old Castle, Sandoval blends virtuosity, a crowd-pleasing repertoire, and relaxed commentary—bringing jazz, technique, and charisma into the same spotlight.
