Banvard
LIM | Less is More 2017
Banvard is a biographical film about the unfortunate life of the 19th century American painter John Banvard (1815-1891), who was the richest and most renowned artist of his time, but – due to a regrettable chain of events – died in poverty and almost completely disappeared from history. It is a tragic story, set in a romantic era, and told in a contemplative way.
The film will be entirely painted by hand in a variety of different – but coherent – painting and drawing techniques, and will be a poetical reflection on the nature of ambition and the inevitability of oblivion.
