* Friday, June 15 Sunday, June 17, 2001. Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Invoking the universes of Edgar Alan Poe, Lewis Carroll and the claustrophobia of Kafka, the work of Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer is bizarrely beautiful: a witty blend of the macabre, the grotesque and gothic horror! The series opens with the LA premiere of his newest film GREEDY GUTS (OSTESANEK, 2001). Svankmajer's features ALICE and PLEASURE CONSPIRATORS will screen along with several programs of his short films, plus the Brothers Quay's THE CABINET OF JAN SVANKMAJER (14 min.). All programs will be held at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theater at 6712 Hollywood Boulevard (between McCadden Place & Las Palmas Avenue).
