Friday, Oct 6 at 7pm
Join animator and Sheridan Professor, Valerie Fulford, for a Q&A and screening of the world’s first fully oil-painted animated feature film, Loving Vincent. The film brings the art of Vincent van Gogh to life to recount the life story of this most mysterious, mythical, and tragic of great painters. Shot first as a live-action film, acted by a sterling cast — including Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn), Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids), Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones), and stage actor Robert Gulaczyk as van Gogh — and then painted over frame by frame with oils, Loving Vincent is simply an extraordinary cinematic achievement.
As an animator on the film, Professor Valerie Fulford will participate in Q&A session prior to the 7pm screening.
