The Fabelmans Limited Edition

2023 Academy Awards Limited Edition: The Fabelmans

This Limited Edition Art Print was designed by Matt Needle, the Cardiff-based Illustrator and Designer. Every year, Matt draws inspiration from the Oscars contenders to create a beautiful collection of alternative film art prints. Matt has partnered with reelstore for a second year to give the exclusive rights to 20 Limited Edition A2 prints of some of his 2022 Academy Awards designs. Each print will be delivered with a certificate of authentification with Digital Signature of the artist.

This design is for The Fabelmans, the American coming-of-age drama directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is about an isolated young man, Sammy (the supposed young Spielberg), played by Gabriel LaBelle, pursuing his dreams and his exploration of love, artistic ambition which comes with sacrifice. The film is supposedly a semi-autobiographical story of Steven Spielberg's early life as a filmmaker, and the movie is dedicated to his late parents but this isn't officially recognised with use of real facts or names. The print features a lion, referencing Sammy's uncle, a circus lion tamer giving advice to Sammy, as he emerges a triumphant filmmaker from his clutches. The movie is a love-letter to film-making and a cinematic memoir from Spielberg and rewarded with 7 nominations at the Academy Awards in 2023.
