The Tale of How

Uploaded by AiMfilmfest on Oct 15, 2008
Created by The Black Heart Gang, South Africa.
Screening as part of the Africa in Motion (AiM) film festival's 'African Animation for Adults', at the Edinburgh Filmhouse, 31 October 2008 at 5.45pm
This programme of short African animations for adult viewing deals with a variety of subjects such as taboos and political or social issues. The films are a celebration of local myth, narrative and aesthetic, not always somber in their delivery but also humorous and playful. Perhaps these animations require the maturity of an adult audience to truly appreciate the films within their specific contextual framing.
Nine months of part time work gave birth to The Blackheart Gang's acclaimed short film called, The Tale of How. The Tale of How is the second part of a trilogy of works called the Dodo Trilogy. It is to later beflanked by The Tale of Then and The Tale of When. The Dodo Trilogy, in turn, fits into a much greater work called, The Household.

@thepeanutpixel Artistry is not something that is foreign to Africa. Remember, Africa has a very rich history, while the West was largely underdeveloped, Africa had spanning empires. Granted it's been ravaged over the past few hundred years and plunged into chaos, but the people still are not short of enthusiasm and creativity.

@Gh0stM1ck South Africans take a lot of flak from all quarters, that's why. You could never understand it unless you were one. It's always nice to defy the sour people who relish everything that is bad in SA, it has them frothing from the mouth in rage.

Oh, my! This animation short simply touches me! At first, it is like stumbling into a circus tent. Then before one knows it, the story it shares comes to life and one knows that they are in the story, too!!!
