SPECIAL SCREENING: Loving Vincent

We are delighted to announce a special screening of Loving Vincent, the multi award winning film, on November 24th.

Over 62,000 oil paintings and a cast including our very own Chris O’Dowd and Saoirse Ronan bring the story of Vincent Van Gogh’s life and death to the screen in the world’s first feature-length painted animation.

It sounds mad: inspired by a letter Vincent Van Gogh penned in the week before he died, in which he noted that “we cannot speak other than by our paintings”, Oscar-winning filmmaker Hugh Welchman (Peter and the Wolf) and Polish painter Dorota Kobiela decided to make a movie doing exactly that. Hiring an army of painters from across Europe, each trained in the Dutch master’s style, they set out to tell his story the way he himself would. Consequently, every single frame of the resulting film, Loving Vincent, is an oil painting (12 per second!); the noir-like detective plot is drawn from the artist’s many letters; and the cast – O’Dowd and Ronan alongside Douglas Booth, Helen McCrory, Aidan Turner and more, with music by Clint Mansell – were chosen based on their likeness to real-life characters in Van Gogh’s works.

Winner of Most Popular International Feature award at the 2017 Vancouver International Film Festival, Audience Award at the 2017 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and the Golden Goblet for best Animation Film at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
