In 2010 Legendary Animator Jan Svankmajer Will Be SURVIVING LIFE
Legendary animator Jan Svankmajer shows no signs of slowing down. In production now for a 2010 release is his latest feature Surviving Life [Theory and Practice], which sounds every bit as odd as you'd expect from the master.

Eugene leads a double life - one real life, and another life in his dreams. In real life, he is married to Milada; in his dreams, he has a young lover called Eugenia. Sensing that these dreams have a deeper meaning, he goes to see a psychoanalyst, who interprets his dreams for him. Gradually we learn that Eugene lost his parents in early childhood and was brought up in an orphanage. In the meantime, Eugenia is expecting Eugene's child - to the dismay of a psychoanalyst, who believes Eugenia is in fact his anima. And getting your anima pregnant is worse than incest. Meanwhile Milada suspects Eugene is having an affair. She spies on Eugene's ritual in his studio, and enter his dream-world. French Romantic poet, Gerard de Nerval, said: "Our dreams are a second life." This films wants to prove his words.
No trailer for this one yet, though we're trying to get some images to share.
