Springman and the SS

Directed by Jiří Trnka, Jiří Brdečka

Czechoslovakia • 1946 • 13 mins. • In Czech

Trnka combines 2D and collage animation to striking effect in this zanily offbeat, anti-Nazi lampoon, which crosses Max Fleischer-like absurdism with a biting satirical edge. Trnka’s first collaboration with Jiří Brdečka.

Genres: Animation
