: Possibilities of Dialogue) is a 1983 Czechoslovak animated short film directed by Jan Švankmajer.
It is 14 minutes long and created with stop motion.
Objective Dialogue (Dialog věcný) shows Arcimboldo-like heads gradually reducing each other to bland copies; Passionate Dialogue (Dialog vášnivý) shows a clay man and woman who dissolve into one another sexually, then quarrel and reduce themselves to a frenzied, boiling pulp; and Exhaustive Dialogue (Dialog vyčerpávající) consists of two elderly clay heads who extrude various objects on their tongues (toothbrush and toothpaste; shoe and shoelaces, etc.)
