The Magic Art of Jan Svankmajer

BBC Features

"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 they have come face to face with genius." The New Yorker

The Magic Art of Jan Svankmajer explored the work of this unique and influential Czech surrealist film maker. Shot at Svanmajer's studio in Prague, and in the UK in 1993, this two-part documentary was produced to compliment a retrospective of his films on BBC Television.
