Heartstrings

Heartstrings

Heartstrings is a series of live talk shows that zoom in on the fundamental question: Animators make things move, but what moves animators? In three programs, guests present their favourite animated films. Films that had a special significance for them. Films that may have been early milestones pointing their own way on the road to becoming film makers. Or that perhaps succeeded in capturing something which they themselves still hope to express.
