[img]http://expcinema.org/site/images/stories/news/svankmajer.jpg[/img]
After the release last year of the [url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/booksvideo/video/details/quay/]Quay Brothers compilation[/url] , the [b]British Film Institut[/b]e has released, a few days before its planned released date the DVD edition of the complete short films of [url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/booksvideo/video/details/svankmajer][b]Jan Švankmajer[/b][/url] .[br /]
[br /]
This edition (more comprehensive than the US edition by Kino Video) boasts nearly 8 hours of material (with more than 2 and a half of them extra material) in 3 DVD discs and a 56-page booklet. Among the extra features are the first film that Svankmajer worked on ([i]Johannes Doktor Faust[/i], 1958), excerpts from [i]Nick Carter in Prague[/i] (1977), a French documentary ([i]Les Chimeres des Svankmajer[/i], 2001), an interview for Czech TV in 2001 and the homage to Jan Svankmajer by the Brothers Quay ([i]The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer[/i], 1984) in its full length version. [br /]
[br /]
Also worthy of notice (though not experimental) is the BFI's compilation [url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/booksvideo/video/details/painleve/]Science is Fiction / The Sounds of Science: The films of Jean Painleve[/url] .

I put my order through for this a few days ago, I'm looking forward to this one. When I receive it and get a chance to look through it I'll post my feelings in this thread. From the information posted I feel it should make it's way into every art school's library...
