First of all, we are going to Singapore Marathon on 12/7 Morning, because the race started on 6.30am, so that we have to close earlier on 12/6 night & open a bit late on 12/7 afternoon.

The opening hour is as follows, sorry for the inconvenience caused.

12/6  11.30am~7.30pm

Movie started on 7.30pm

Brief introduction:

The Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer (Czech)

Footage: 86mins
Year: 2002

Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer has fascinated the world with his surreal, dream-like, animated creations for many decades. Such is Svankmajer’s magic, that the most ordinary objects and people can be imbued with lilting strangeness, with action and agency, with personality, and with deeply rooted cultural observations. His work has been a beacon to countless filmmakers, an inspiration to artists everywhere, and unquestionably some of the most important art to emerge from the often oppressive confines of the formerly Communist Czechoslovakia. Although his work lies within the realm of the surreal, Svankmajer uses his films to probe social institutions, classes, and interactions.

Volume 1 of the Collected Shorts discs brings us to the core of Svankmajer’s work from 1965 to 1980, and Volume 2 from 1982 to 1992.
