Jan Svankmajr impressed me like no other realisator. He´s a great influence for creative people. In every way, not only about a technical stuff of course. I remember very well, when i saw the first movie of him and how fucking stocked i was... What a master! I think, people ask a lot of times for his help and bored him a lot of times. Guys like him don´t need ideas for movies of anybody else. He was working from his own points of view and that´s easy to recognice. I make a bow for J. Svankmajer!

I couldn't agree more ZombieSapho, he's his own man and his very refusal to conform with any of the artistic/political trends of his day makes him all the more admirable.

when he was in Swansea for some government sponsored art thingymajig, & everyone was supposed to be listening to the mayor of the city do a speech, a baby started crying and Mr.Svankmajer turned round and started applauding the baby.

No, that's not me in the video - it was some idiot thinking he could ask the man for help with an idea he had - basically you're right - what a cheek though...

I guess you can't blame him for trying :)

What were you asking him for? Help on some sort of project?

Svankmajer was right...
