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

"My films have several meanings, and I'd rather they inspired the viewer to use his own subjective symbolism to interpret them. Just as in psychoanalysis, there must always be secrecy. Without secrecy, there is no art."
Jan Svankmajer

Jan Svankmajer is one of the world's most imaginative and extraordinary film-makers. Svankmajer, known for his four features, ALICE, FAUST, CONSPIRATORS OF PLEASURE and LITTLE OTIK also produced 24 short films between 1964 and 1990, only concentrating on longer works after the collapse of Communism in Czechoslovakia. JABBERWOCKY, based on Lewis Carroll's poem, is one of the most famous works of this master surrealist.

"My version of Jabberwocky, which has no conventional narrative, was a Freudian record of the development of a child through all its stages: through homosexuality and sado-masochism to rebellion against the father."
