A Game with Stones
Directed by Jan Švankmajer
Produced by Studio A, Froschberg Filmstudio
A whimsical stop-motion meditation on mechanical cause-and-effect, where inanimate objects perform an abstract, cyclical dance of time and consequence.
A device consisting of a clock, a pendulum, a faucet and a bucket enacts a series of events whenever the clock chimes.
