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.
The films were selected by Sandra Gibson, Nicole Hewitt, Adriaan Lokman, Nils Mühlenbruch, Bouwine Pool and Pjotr Sapegin.

Tango
People enter the small room in turn. Firstly, one by one, then the sequences of rhythmical moves start looping and overlapping, but characters do not interfere with each other. It is accurate time compression within a limited space. Tango won the very first Oscar in the history of Polish cinema.
Zbigniew Rybczyński, born in 1949 – graduated from the film school in Łódź. He is a cinemato-grapher, scriptwriter, and director of animated and experimental films. He left Poland after re-ceiving Oscar for Tango. He went to the U.S. where he was acclaimed as the „pope of the video art”.
