FREE FILM SCREENING – VAN GOGH: POETS & LOVERS
Monthly Architecture + Design Film Series continues live and virtually at 118 Elliot, 118 Elliot Street, Brattleboro, VT 05301 on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Doors 6pm for refreshments, Screening 6:30pm. Screen from home, same day only at: https://adfilmseries.org/

Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers (Directed by David Bickerstaff, 2024, UK, 90 Min) provides the only way to see what Forbes called “a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition” – the UK’s National Gallery biggest and most successful Van Gogh exhibit. The picture quality is entrancing; every brushstroke and ridge of impasto is reproduced with extraordinary fidelity. Tracing Van Gogh’s journey from his early years in the Netherlands to his prolific period in France, the film shines a light on the events and people that shaped his evolution as a painter. Through readings from Van Gogh’s own letters, viewers are drawn into the artist’s inner world describing colors and compositions, and where longing, hope, and despair gave rise to masterpieces that would ultimately redefine the boundaries of post-Impressionism.

Films are curated and presented by the American Institute of Architects, Vermont, and Burlington City Arts with other local sponsors. Films in Brattleboro and Burlington screen simultaneously. Free, but donations/sponsorship appreciated.
