The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer (1984)


In Prague, a professorial puppet, with metal pincers for hands and an open book for a hat, takes a boy as a pupil.

Fascinating animated surrealist short that lovingly pays homage and recreates the style of the Quay Brothers'  major influence Jan Svankmajer.

Neco z Alenky (1988)



Animated adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.

Fascinating, bizarre, surreal masterpiece with the director summing up his life's work in feature length for the first time.
