filmmaker presentation- Jan Svankmejer

When we first watched a film by Jan Svankmejer in class I couldn’t really see myself liking anything like that because it was honestly kind of off-putting? But Dylan did a really great job of showcasing his work and what was awesome and interesting about it, and his presentation had a certain flair that made him really engaging.  I loved the film Food the most.  I’ve always found myself drawn to “ugly” stop motion and drawn animation (i.e: Gumby, early Rugrats, anything kind of grotesque but endearing) so I’m glad I got to see more of Svankmejer’s work.  I was mostly mesmerized by the sheer amount of time it must’ve taken to painstakingly animate all of that food.
