THE LINE & JONATHAN DJOB NKONDO

PLAYGROUNDS IN MOTION LONDON 2026

We’re thrilled to announce that The Line will join us for an extraordinary artist talk alongside animator Jonathan Djob Nkondo. The Line collaborated with Jonathan on the latest Gorillaz music video. During this talk he’ll dive into the process on the creation of this clip together with the London studio.

London based animation studio The Line, was founded by artists and filmmakers who believe that every creative project starts with a good idea. This BAFTA-nominated animation studio is run by animators meaning that their priority is always the quality of the work. They tackle different kinds of projects from small independent jobs to large commercials and everything else in between but sharing one common feature: an exceptional story!
