Jan Svankmajer
The Complete Short Films (BFI)
 
Sorry, out of stock.

This 3 x DVD boxset collects together all 26 entries in Jan Svankmajer's official filmography as well as extras such as the Quay brother's homage, interviews, a documentary and examples of their work in other media.

The DVD also has a 54 page illustrated book with full credits and detailed notes on each film. Plus more extras.

If you don't know who Jan Svankmajer is, he's a legendary Czech surrealist animator, who's work is technically and conceptually absolutely mind-boggling. As the quote on the back says 'The world is divided into two unequal camps. those who have never heard of Jan Svankmajer and those who happen upon his work and know that they have come face to face with genius.' So if you've never heard of him or if you have this is the most complete introduction you'll ever find.

This is a PAL Region 2 DVD.
