Loving Vincent 
(rated PG-13)
Friday, June 8 on the grounds of the AMA
Galleries open at 7:30 / Film begins at dusk 
Picture
While films have long been regarded as art, Loving Vincent, the  movie being presented Friday, June 8 at the Albany Museum of Art as part of the city of Albany's summer film series, takes the art of movie-making to an entirely new level. The Oscar-nominated film, presented by the AMA through a partnership with the Albany Recreation & Parks Department, comprises 65,000 frames individually painted in oils—a cinematic first.

Loving Vincent, which brings the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh to life, will be shown outdoors, projected onto the wall of the AMA. Set to start at sunset, the film is rated PG-13. There’s no admission charge and you’re invited to bring lawn chairs, blankets and tables. Food trucks and a cash wine & beer bar will be available, so no coolers will be permitted. The AMA’s exhibitions, Glenn Dasher: In Retrospection; Monuments to Human Imperfection and Justin Hodges’ Time Time and a Half, will reopen from 7:30-8:30 pm.

Officials with the film note that 125 professional artists from across the globe traveled to the Loving Vincent studios in Greece and Poland to be part of the production about the life of one of the world’s most famous and enigmatic artists. His passionate, ill-fated life and mysterious death are as remarkable as his brilliant paintings.

Van Gogh’s life has become a thing of legend as he has been described as everything from a layabout and a madman to a martyr and a genius. His own view, as he attested in his final letter, was, “We cannot speak other than by our paintings.” The creators of Loving Vincent took the tragic artist at his word, bringing him to life by enabling his artwork to tell his story on screen.

Loving Vincent was first shot as a live-action film with actors. It was then hand-painted over in oils, frame by frame. The result is a unique interaction of live performers and painting animators.

The film’s production took seven years, with painters spending up to 10 days to paint the dozen frames that make up one second of film presentation time. Each frame was painted on 67-by-49-cm canvas, with the digital stills recorded at 6k resolution with a Canon 6D. The animators, chosen from 5,000 applicants, each underwent 180 hours of training before starting work.

Theatre actor Robert Gulaczyk made his film debut as Vincent, with Douglas Booth as Armand Roulin, Eleanor Tomlinson as Adeline Ravoux, Jerome Flynn as Dr. Gachet, Saoirse Ronan as Marguerite Gachet, Chris O’Dowd as Joseph Roulin, John Sessions as Pere Tanguy, Aidan Turner as the boatman and Helen McCrory as Louise Chevalier. Written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, 
Loving Vincent was produced by BreakThru Films and Trademark Films. Run time for Loving Vincent, which opened in the United States in September 2017, is 94 minutes. The film received an Oscar nomination earlier this year for Best Animated Feature Film.
