About the event
Join us for a captivating Best of the Fest screening of Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers, followed by a special live-streamed Q&A with award-winning producer Phil Grabsky via Google Meet.
This powerful new documentary, from the producers of Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition, brings to life the dramatic final years of Vincent van Gogh. Using his personal letters and set against the backdrop of the UK’s largest-ever Van Gogh exhibition at The National Gallery, this film offers a fresh lens on the misunderstood master—his art, his passion, and the stories that fueled his creative genius.
Directed by David Bickerstaff and produced by Phil Grabsky, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers reveals how poets, lovers, and symbolic figures filled Van Gogh’s imagination and canvases during his years in the south of France—just as his mental health began to unravel. The result is a poetic, emotionally rich portrait of one of history’s most iconic artists.
