Loving Vincent
The first ever fully painted feature film takes us through the last days of Vincent van Gogh.
Director: Hugh Welchman and Dorota Kobiela
Overview
The life and death of famous Dutch post-impressionist painter, Vincent van Gogh, becomes the focus of this innovative film. First shot as a live action film with actors, then hand-painted over frame-by-frame in 65,000 oil-paintings, Loving Vincent is vividly painted in the style of the artist himself. With a voice cast including Saoirse Ronan and Aiden Turner, this extraordinary mix of performance, animation and painting questions what the medium of cinema can become in the 21st century.
