Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg in "Berlin"Preview

Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg describe the spontaneity in generating ideas for their animated films in this preview of the upcoming “Berlin” episode from Season 9 of the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series.

“It’s not so interesting if I know everything that’s going to happen in the animation,” says Djurberg. “I lose interest in it, because then I’ve already seen it in my head.” Adds Berg, “It’s more about letting things pop up and just knowing which things to grab.”

“Berlin” from Season 9 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 21, 2018 on PBS. Watch the full episode and artist segment.
