The film is produced by Oscar-winning Breakthru Films and Trademark Films.

Over 100 of Vincent van Gogh’s Paintings

Through 65,000 hand-painted frames, Twój Vincent (Loving Vincent) tells the story of the life and death of Vincent van Gogh, one of the world’s most acclaimed painters. Told as an investigation into the death of the artist, the story will bring to life over 100 of van Gogh’s paintings.

“The idea came from a need for bringing together two art forms — painting and film — and telling the story of an artist through his art, brought to life using animation. Van Gogh as an artist has fascinated me from the early days of my own path as an artist, which is why I wanted to use his works to tell the story of the painter himself and embark on this exceptional journey through his works, by giving them a new dimension and discovering their inner dynamics,” said director Dorota Kobiela in an interview for the Polish Film Institute.

The film’s official website is available at: lovingvincent.com.
