The Old Man and the Sea Animated

in Film, Video - Arts & Culture | October 19th, 2008 6 Comments

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. You’ll find this film listed in our collection of Free Movies Online.

    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.
