The Blackheart Gang: animation and the Tale of How
Let It Out!/Recorded 2010
A close reading, kept within reach.
Jannes Hendrikz takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2010, the conversation is grounded in Jannes's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Animators The Blackheart Gang talk about their diverse creative influences and the commercial value of animation.
