this one is so hard ti find has anyone in this world ever seen a copy?

A lonely figure in a desolate, utterly bizarre landscape, a young man finds a vulture-like bird lying prone in the snow. He takes it back to his home and places it gently in a cage. His intentions aren’t entirely humane, though. Using an assortment of dubious surgical devices, he cuts the still-living bird open and extracts from it half of a strange fruit/insect hybrid. This object is nothing less that the embryo of the universe, a fabled living artifact that is desperately sought by the awful biomechanical demons that dominate the world.

A twisted, sepia-toned melange of live action, stop-motion and hand-drawn animation, Mecanix presents a harsh, confounding universe that can earn very favourable comparisons with the works of Jan Svankmajer, the Brothers Quay, Shinya Tsukamoto and early David Lynch. Rémy Larochelle’s film is less a sci-fi horror flick than a fantastic, epic fable fueled by a demented symbolism and a clash of the organic and the mechanical, Mecanix is a remarkable achievement in handmade filmmaking and nightmarish surrealism.

To answer your question, the very rare and bizarre Mécanix by Rémy M. Larochelle, will be released on DVD early in 2007.
The company helming the release is the new Crooked Brothers (they will also release a wave of indie horror flicks from Asia as well).
Mécanix' DVD will apparently have some extras, like sketches, a short, a video clip (the first experiences of the director) and maybe a commentary track and documentary (featurette).
Again, from what I've been told, the packaging will be awesome...
Can't wait to see it!
Pass the word.
