Here’s a very good find by Berto (see his blog here)
In 1999, Aleksandr Petrov won the Academy Award for Short Film (among other awards) for a film that follows the plot line of Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella, The Old Man and the Sea (1952). As noted here, Petrov’s technique involves painting pastels on glass, and he and his son painted a total of 29,000 images in total. Rather incredible. Below, we present the 20 minute short. Thanks again Berto, and readers, keep the good tips coming!
















What a beautiful video.
Thanks so much. I’ve been looking for this for years and practically forgot about it.
Hi there, what a great video and what a wonderful story. Well done to Hemingway and the Petrovs. Is it possible for me to download? I’d love to have copy of my own? Thank you.
