A month-long theme of “MACHINE MADNESS” kicks off with a scientist, his doomsday machine, and the pirates who will stop at nothing to gain possession of it. Freely adapting the fiction of Jules Verne, Karel Zeman blends live actors with animated scenery of breathtaking intricacy and complexity, constructing an impossibly vivid proto-steampunk world.
