Film made of oil paintings to release in India

Loving Vincent, a film which is made entirely of oil paintings, will be releasing in India on November 3. The film, which tells the story of painter Vincent van Gogh through painting, is being brought to India by MVP Entertainment. The number of screens showing the movie will be under ten, however.

Robert Gulaczyk plays Vincent van Gogh in the film, which is touted to be the world's first fully painted feature film. This movie is written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman.

More than 125 professional oil-painters from all over the world came to Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to create 65,000 paintings for the story.

There are 94 Vincent van Gogh's paintings that feature in a form very close to the original.
