Arkansas State University-Mountain Home’s Community Education Department will hold a showing of “Loving Vincent,” the world’s first fully painted feature film. The free showing will be held Wednesday at noon in the McClure Convention Center at the Vada Sheid Community Development Center on the ASUMH campus. The public is invited to attend the free event.The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who traveled from all across the world to the “Loving Vincent” studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production.
“Loving Vincent” was first shot as a live action film with actors and then hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils. The final effect is an interaction of the performance of the actors playing Vincent’s famous portraits and the performance of the painting animators, bringing these characters into the medium of paint. The film tells the story of Vincent van Gogh through 120 of his paintings and the characters that inhabit them.
The 94-minute film was released in September of 2017. “Loving Vincent” has been nominated for best animated feature film in the 2018 Academy Awards.
