Loving Vincent
This animated feature tells the story of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh by reconstituting his paintings through montage to reveal their histories. It was first shot with actors playing the characters in van Gogh's portraits, then assiduously painted over, frame-by-frame, in the style of the master. The 65,000 paintings by more than 100 artists around the world were then produced and translated into moving images.
