Jan Švankmajer

Like Kentridge, his work isn't physical either, but I appreciate his aesthetics. His stop motion animations are physical in the sense that he uses sounds and images that are very vivid and stark. I saw one of his full feature films, Faust, which incorporates cinematic video footage with some scenes of stop motion and even puppets. I think the Faust genre is interesting, and he uses Prague as a backdrop for his modern adaption of Goethe's famous work.
