oPeRaTiNg tHeAtRe - 11.12.2005 14:06
tuesday 13th December, oPeRaTiNg tHeAtRe presents Jan Svankmeyer Animation Film Nite
A smattering of short animations and Faust (1994, 90 mins)
Jan Svankmeyer, czechoslovak animator extraordinaire, has been making
intensely bizarre films since the mid-'60s. His work is a mix between 3-D
stop-motion animation, puppets and live-action. His stories are eerie and
surreal, his actors include machines, socks, clay figures, dolls and
stuffed corpses, and among his fans are Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, the
late Angela Carter.
FAUST (90 mins, 1994, czech with enlish subtitles) A very free adaptation
of the old legend of the man who sold his soul to the devil. After being
lured by a strange map into a sinister puppet theater, Faust finds himself
immersed in an indescribably weird version of the play, blending live
actors, clay model animation and giant puppets.
the oPeRaTiNg tHeAtRe is screening films at a new location: Squathé
Vijzelstraat 5A (next to the Pathé cinema), Amsterdam.
