Totally missed out on this Indiegogo campaign:

Would've picked up the exclusive 5 film blu-ray box set . Hopefully it will get a wider release when the time comes because 3 of those films are in my top 10 DVDs that I want to see given the special treatment. There are still some good perks left if you're looking for an autograph.

Sad to hear this will be the last feature film. I'm sure he won't get the recognition he deserves until long after he's dead.

“The civilization we live in has little interest in authentic artistic creation. What it needs is well-working advertisement, the iconographic contemporary art, pushing people towards more and more mass consumption.

It gets increasingly difficult to fund independent art that scrutinizes the very core of our society. Who would deliberately support their own critics? We make a film every five or six years not because of a lack of ideas, but due to the lack of funds to back up our projects. Crowdfunding may be the way to change this.” - Jan Švankmajer
