Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1964
12 MIN / 35mm, Farbe, OF - ohne Dialog

The story of the two magicians Mr. Edgar and Mr. Schwarzwald plays with the subject of headbirth, both magicians produce a series of droll sensations in a friendly competition. The end is surprisingly conciliatory.

Et cetera / Et cetera
Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1966
8 MIN / 35mm, Farbe, OF - ohne Dialog
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Jan vankmajer
The hopeless
eternal return of the normed, the suppression.
Byt /
Die Wohnung / The Flat

13 MIN / 35mm, s/w, OF - ohne Dialog
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Jan vankmajer
The permanent
metamorphosis of a man in a room he changes prtially and whose objects
change him in return. This black-humoured work is as full of references
to other films as the protagonist's clothes are full of nails tearing
at them.
Monosti
dialogu /
Möglichkeiten des Dialogs / Dimensions of Dialogue
Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1982
11 MIN / 16mm, Farbe, OF - ohne Dialog
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Jan vankmajer
In quickly
cut pictures, animated figures from all sorts of materials think
about forms of human communication, the "factual dialogue",
the "passionate dialogue", the "exhausting dialogue"
- droll mixing or gulping each other down not excluded.
Do
pivnice /
In den Keller / Down to the Cellar
Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1983
15 MIN / 16mm, Farbe, OF - ohne Dialog
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Jan vankmajer
A rather
dark mixture of Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland,
in which a girl with a basket goes into the cellar to get potatoes
but encounters creatures (like living shoes) who are after their
own interests. The seemingly hopeless end is remotely reminiscent
of the Sisyphos-myth.
Kývadlo,
jáma a nadeje /
Pendel, Grube, Hoffnung / Pendulum, the Pit and Hope
Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1983
15 MIN / 35mm, s/w, OF - ohne Dialog
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Jan vankmajer
Combined
animation after motifs from Edgar Allan Poe's "Pit and pendulum"
and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's "Hope" about a person who
is hopelessly in the hands of inquisitional violence.
Postava k podpírání /
Josef Kilian / Joseph Kilian
Tschechoslowakei / Czechoslovakia 1963
37 MIN / 35mm, s/w, OmeU
REGIE / DIRECTOR: Pavel Jurácek, Jan Schmidt
On his
search for an institution that rents cats, Josef Kilian (whose initials
are reminiscent of Kafka's "Castle") finds himself in
a kafkaesque bureaucratic labyrinth with hints at the stalinism
which Prague hasn't gotten over yet.
