coffin factory.

Czech animation short titled, Rakvickarna or Coffin Factory (1966) by director Jan Svankmajor. A surreal capatist vs. communist satire in which the director uses traditional folk puppetry to act out a battle between the Jester and the Buffoon over a live guinea pig. I'm a big fan of the tone setting opening sequence of rusted wind-up toys in an eerie drone of mechanical repetition.
