Heartstrings
160 minutes
Heartstrings is a series of live that zoom in on the fundamental question: animators make things that 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 filmmakers. Or that perhaps succeeded in capturing something which they themselves still hope to express.
Films selected by: Evert de Beijer, Peter Chung, Hisko Hulsing, Bady Minck and Joanna Quinn.
