Alice: A little girl follows an elusive White Rabbit and so begins this dream expedition into the landscape of childhood, combining techniques of animation, puppet theatre and live action in Švankmajer's surreal version of Alice's adventures in Wonderland.
Darkness light darkness: A man literally constructs himself within the confines of a very small room--a potent allegory of Švankmajer's life in Eastern Europe.

alice submitted by qmomo on July 2, 2019, 4:42pm czech masterpiece of stop-motion animation directed by the great surrealist animator jan svankmajer, now on blu-ray! also includes a short film by svankmajer. although this is based on a children's book it's not necessarily a film for children, it has sort of a surreal and unnerving atmosphere.
