I saw '96 as well. The DVD also includes his short film Qajar Dynasty (1993). This second film is half Svankmajer and half end of Andrei Rublev. Simply a look at photographs, but occasionally animated and broke apart. I'd highly recommend the Facets release of The House is Black, which in addition to these three short films, features an interview and several articles about the filmmakers, including one from Jonathan Rosenbaum.
