The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer
The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer is a 1984 British surreal short stop-motion film by the Quay Brothers, an homage to the influential short film maker Jan Švankmajer.[1]
Summary
It is structured as a series of little lessons on perception [2] at Prague[3] in a form of a puppet simulacrum of Svankmajer, whose head is an opened book, to a doll whose head the masters empties of dross and refills with a similar open book.[4]
Availability
Available as part of the Phantom Museums DVD collection of Quay Brothers shorts.[5]
