Born On This Day — September 4, 1934

Jan Svankmaier - Camera

To me, animation is like magic. It’s not about making things move, but making things live. This is the domain of magic. And that is what I have always tried to achieve in my films—not just to move objects, but to breathe life into them and explore their inner being.

—Jan Švankmajer
