Press release -
Painted animation feature film about the life and mysterious death of Vincent Van Gogh goes into pre-production
Oscar-winning film company, Breakthru Films, has gone into pre-production on an animated re-telling of the life of Vincent Van Gogh entitled LOVING VINCENT, which takes the form of a murder mystery.
“Well, the truth is, we cannot speak other than by our paintings,” wrote Vincent Van Gogh in his final letter.
Loving Vincent is a film that is true to this deathbed testament, and explores the intense mind of this towering genius through his own paintings. Every frame of the 80-minute film will be a painting: totally an output of 57,600 individual oil paintings, painted by a team of 30 painters, led by Polish painter-director, Dorota Kobiela. The film is set to be a vivid and intense celebration of the work of Vincent Van Gogh, bringing to life some of his best-known works of art.
The concept trailer for the film will be presented at Cannes Film Festival, May 2012.
Production stills (high res) from the Loving Vincent concept trailer are available on request
