What is special about this film is that it is made frame by frame as if a painting came to life. As the production wrote, "The painting animators used the reference material as the basis for the layout of their first frame, and the movement of the shot. The painting animators task was to transform this reference material into Vincent van Gogh's painting style, and then to re-create the movement of the shot through animating each brushstroke. Once a frame is complete the painting animator takes a 6k resolution digital still, and then starts work on the next frame. There are over 65,000 frames in the film. At the end of each shot we are left with a painting of the last frame of the shot. There are 898 shots in the film."

Loving Vincent Synopsis: A man visits the last hometown of Vincent Van Gogh, to deliver his final letter. Taking place in 1890 France, the man investigates what might have taken place in the last days of the painter.

The short films to be screened are still to be announced:
