Drawing on a tradition of Surrealism based in the capital of magic and alchemy, Prague, Jan Svankmajer uses a range of techniques, combining live action, puppet theatre, stop-motion and drawn animation, claymation, cut-outs, re-edited archive footage and montage. This collection spans almost 30 years, from \'The Last Trick\' (1964) to \'Food\' (1992). All the classics are included - \'Punch and Judy\', \'The Flat\', \'Jabberwocky\', \'Dimensions of Dialogue\', \'Down to the Cellar\' and both versions of \'The Ossuary\', alongside many British video premieres.
