Exhibition on Screen - Van Gogh
Seventh Art Productions
Given complete and unprecedented access to the treasures of Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, this is a major new film about one of the world's greatest and most popular artists.
This film provides viewers with the moving and inspiring experience of seeing Vincent's iconic masterpieces close-up on the screen. New insights and interpretations are offered by specially invited guests including V. Willem van Gogh, great-grandson of Theo van Gogh, and contemporary artist Lachlan Goudie.
Recent research explores the many myths surrounding Vincent's troubled life. And Vincent's illuminating letters to his family and friends are brought to life by dramatisation putting flesh on the bones in a new biography. We look deeply at the life of a man who reminds us that, "Art is long and life is short."
