JAN SVANKMAJER

We were shown this mans work in class. It made me pay a lot of attension to his weird ideas however so simple. Many filmmakers are inspired by him such as Tim Burton to The brothers Quay. One of his 1st one was A Game with Stones from 1965, it was all done with random different shapes of stones and making them in to human like figures many, his work has a slight explicit content which stood him out from many others. He did his verison of Alice in wonder land, its more twisted and creepy instead of the happy and cheery version of disney intake of the story which now Tim Burton has done which is inbetween both of these ideas.
