Loving Vincent
The story is presented through oil painted animation, a 6 year labour of love. A total of 125 classically trained artists from all over the world, including Ottawa-born Val Fulford, created more than 1,300 paintings, which became 65,000 painted frames. A young man goes to Vincent van Gogh’s last hometown to deliver a final letter to the troubled artist. He ends up investigating van Gogh’s final days there – was it murder or suicide?
Loving Vincent is a 2017 experimental animated biographical drama film about the life of the painter Vincent van Gogh, and, in particular, about the circumstances of his death. It is the first fully painted animated feature film.[7][8] The film, written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, is a Polish-UK co-production, funded by the Polish Film Institute, and partially through a Kickstarter campaign.[9]
First conceived as a seven-minute short film in 2008,[7] Loving Vincent was realized by Dorota Kobiela, a painter herself, after studying the techniques and the artist's story through his letters.[10]
Each of the film's 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas, created using the same techniques as Van Gogh by a team of 125 artists drawn from around the globe.[8][11] The film premiered at the 2017 Annecy International Animated Film Festival.[2] It won Best Animated Feature Film Award at the 30th European Film Awards in Berlin and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 90th Academy Awards.
