Loving Vincent: The Impossible Dream recalls a 10-year journey that brought the world's first fully painted feature film to the cinema screen. From humble beginnings in a bedroom in an industrial Polish town of Lódz, an idea for a 7-minute short film that would tell the story of Vincent van Gogh through his paintings was conceived. The potential for a truly groundbreaking yet completely unseen project seemed like a huge risk, but when in the hands of two passionate filmmakers willing to risk everything to make their impossible dream come true, nothing could stand in their way.


"Michal Weçel's Loving Vincent: The Impossible Dream is a lively, lightning-paced documentary." - Maria Garcia, Los Angeles Times
