About the FILM: 70 Days in Laois

---

  This motion picture play follows an actor immersed in the last 70 days of Van Gogh's life, headlong toward suicide and death. It blurs the line between reality and art. We experience this metamorphosis as the actor paints in real time. In order to tap into an unconscious and emotional truth, the director showcases an artist constantly at work. Stuart Dunne reacts to stimuli as he believes Van Gogh would have done. The project ultimately produces 67 original works of art in 70 days, in line with Van Gogh's prolific output. The actor reaches an emotional state where he believes in the logical necessity of the artistic process. There are no other characters, only the artist and his ego.
