Loving Vincent is the world’s first fully painted film. The semi-fictional story about the life and death of Vincent Van Gogh is depicted in oil-painted animation by a team of 100 artists with 65,000 frames on over 1,000 canvases in the style of Van Gogh’s renowned oil paintings. This film posits a potential explanation for the circumstances of Van Gogh’s mysterious 1890 death. While we may never know for certain how and why Van Gogh died, this film is a visually stunning interpretation of the events surrounding his death. The film was nominated for the 2018 Oscars for best-animated film. Directed by DK Welchman & Hugh Welchman, 2017, 91 mins. Film showing free.
