Charlotte is an animated drama that tells the true story of Charlotte Salomon, a young German-Jewish painter who comes of age in Berlin on the eve of the Second World War. Fiercely imaginative and deeply gifted, she dreams of becoming an artist. Directed by Éric Warin and Tahir Rana, inspired by Salomon’s autobiographical painting series, Life? or Theatre?.

Loving Vincent is about the life of the painter Vincent van Gogh, and the circumstances of his death. It is the first fully painted animated feature film in history, directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. Each of the film’s 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas, created using the same techniques as Van Gogh by a team of 125 artists drawn from around the globe. It won Best Animated Feature Film Award at the 30th European Film Awards and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 90th Academy Awards
