The collected shorts of Jan Svankmajer.

For the past forty years, Jan Svankmajer (Alice and Little Otik) 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 is proud to offer this collection of remarkable short works from an artist that has mesmerized audiences the world over and has inspired filmmakers form the Brothers Quay to Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam.
