‘Loving Vincent’: Additional Screenings (Dec. 8–17) Speed Cinema $12 | Times vary 65,000 oil paintings! That’s how many are in “Loving Vincent” on the life of Vincent van Gogh. Directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, the film is the first fully-painted feature. It was first shot in live action with actors (including Saoirse Ronan and Chris O’Dowd), and then painted over frame by frame by 125 artists. “Loving Vincent” is extremely popular and keeps selling out. There’s still time to see it; Speed Cinema has added a third round of showings with tickets in December. And just like all the holiday ads say — don’t wait until the last minute, buy now. —Jo Anne TriplettSATURDAY

Yes, I am a member, but I can say without a taint of bias that these (other than me) are the city’s top furniture craftsmen. You have seen their designs in many area restaurants and shops, including at the 21c Museum Hotel. Their work is in the collections of design-savvy homeowners, who commissioned standalone pieces and built-ins for kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and backyards. Here is a chance to buy or commission your own furniture, or just come by to sit in some of the most-comfortable chairs ever. —Keith Stone
