Shot in live action, with real actors (Douglas Booth, Saoirse Ronan and the late, great Helen McCrory among them), it was then treated as a painted animation – each of its 65,000 frames hand painted as an oil painting on canvas, using van Gogh’s technique, created by a team of over one hundred artists.

Directed by the Polish, award wining artist and filmmaker Dorota Kobiela and her British husband, producer, writer and director Hugh Welchman, it is a breathtaking, innovating artistic and technological feat – a piece of art itself.
