If you loved Picnic with Weismann, try A Game with Stones

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jan Švankmajer, and they both carry the playful, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Picnic with Weismann, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Game with Stones is

Clockwork meets Dada in a kitchen where a pendulum waters flowers a faucet drips paint a bucket counts chimes and the whole contraption choreographs chaos every hour. A Czech surrealist short where machinery dreams and domestic objects dance.
