I just heard about this guy a few days ago. We watched a ton of his shorts at school. Some of them are just too weird, but some are simply awesome. Here are my favorites:

werd. I went through a phase of exploring svankmajer's work and even saw a feature (Alice) of his in a theater. Incredible.

I think you would also like films made by The Brothers Quay. Similar - like Svankmajer's american counterpart
