Stop-motion Animation... Clips from some of Eastern Europe's greatest masters.
But, excellent site nonetheless.

Hmm... wish I could edit posts. This site has a more extensive look at Svankmajer's work. I'm particularly fond of Darkness - Light - Darkness which is included on the dvd version of Alice.

Unfortunately this is a double post.
It's good stuff though, and probably warrants another look. Thanks!

Wierd. I was just looking at the previous post the other day. Its worth posting again since Darkstrider has added new stuff since then, particularly the stuff lower on the sidebar.
And just like the previous post, someone jumps in to mention Svankmajer without, apparently, bothering to look at the links. These guys, like Starewitch and Trnka were much more fantastic.
Darkstrider is a stop-motion fanatic. Of course he has a page on Svankmajer. Again, I suggest taking a look at the actual link first.

Perhaps I did take a look at the link and decided that Svankmajer was worthy of a more prominent mention seeing as he wasn't featured on the linked page.

Apologies. I was in an overly snarky mood. I need to go get some coffee.

Why did you post this? I was hoping to do stuff tonight. And Svankmajer is good but I really think stop-motion stuff works a lot better as short pieces. Like the Cup of Noodles ads, which are sublime.

I was actually going to just link directly to them, but I figured I'd get the wrath of the pepsi-blue brigade if I did.

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome.
I'm a big Svankmajer fan as well, and this has introduced me to a whole new wealth of artists. Great FPP, crunchland.

Also, the cup-o-noodle ads are, truly, The Best of The Internet.

wow, takes me back to a huge research project I did on Starewicz during my undergrad years.
Which also reminds me, if anyone here on MeFi is a fan of audio/video synchronicity (and I'm sure there are a few folks that are), check out Califone's Deceleration One, it's a soundtrack they performed live for Starewicz' "The Mascot" A very somber, unsettling score for a very surreal, unsettling film, but both are fantastic in their own right, and even better together.

Those Cup-O-Noodle ads are brilliant.
Also, I'm pretty certain I saw those Alexander Ptushko clips on an MST3K episode at one point. The first three, anyway - I'd have remembered a giant blue head.
