Alejandro Jodorowsky - The Holy Mountain

This is one of those films that after seeing it, you can’t unsee it. In fact, it feels wrong calling it a film; its more of an experience than anything. Its laden of psychedelic visuals, spiritual symbolism, and imagery done in a truly avant-garde manor. 

Jan Svankmajer - The Trick

Czech avant-garde stop motion short film.  A truly surreal short film made up of stimulating/dizzying visuals which noticeably progress with each trick.

David Lynch - The Grandmother

Another David Lynch short film.  This one I think I can call my favorite.  It’s longer in length compared to his other shorts, and the use of sound and dark/light contrast is fucking lovely.

David Lynch - The Alphabet

David Lynch films have this perfect formula of being disturbing, beautiful, and surreal causing a dream-like state while immersed in his movies. This is one of his first shorts which was made before Eraserhead. ENJOYYYYYYY
