The Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer

For the past 40 years Jan Svankmajer (Faust Conspirators of Pleasure) has been hailed as one of cinema's most consistently surprising wildly imaginative and remarkable surrealists of our time. Utilizing a delirious combination of puppets humans stop-motion animation and live action Svankmajer's films conjure up a dreamlike universe that is at once dark macabre witty and perversely visceral. KimStim (and Kino) is proud to to offer this collection of remarkable short works from an artist that has mesmerized audiences the world over and has inspired filmmakers from the Brothers Quay to Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam.
