The Quay Brothers in 35mm - official trailer

A touring package of four films curated by Christopher Nolan, featuring IN ABSENTIA, THE COMB, STREET OF CROCODILES and the premiere of Nolan’s QUAY. In all new 35mm prints!

American identical twins working in London, stop motion animators Stephen and Timothy Quay (born 1947 in Norristown, Pennsylvania) find their inspiration in Eastern European literature and classical music and art, their work distinguished by its dark humor and an uncanny feeling for color and texture. Masters of miniaturization, they turn their tiny sets into unforgettable worlds suggestive of long-repressed childhood dreams. These three Quay masterworks, selected by director Christopher Nolan, feature broken pencils and lead shavings in IN ABSENTIA (2000; “a dazzling piece of work” – The Guardian); a porcelain doll’s explorations of a dreamer’s imagination in THE COMB (1991; “most beautiful of their recent films” – The New Yorker); and the nightmarish netherworld of STREET OF CROCODILES (1986; “their crowning achievement” – Film Comment); and for the first time ever, QUAY (2015), Nolan’s new short film revealing the inner workings of the Brothers’ studio. All four films in 35mm. –Film Forum

I love the Quay Brother's Art; haunting, nightmarish and beautiful.

Amazing filmmakers I just love their work! Svankmajers ethos was "first you become a collector, then you become a filmmaker".

I love the soundtrack of this trailer! Does anyone have any ideas what it might be named?

[marcelomarquez]

I want a videogame with this theme, like Bioshock or Dead Space but with hunted puppets. It would be absolutely scary.

It’s like that polish animator from 30s

I think the BFI are releasing their work on Blu-ray this September! Looks like a set akin to the Bill Morrison one! Very excited!

[paowerhouse]

I'm really curious if Nolan is considering that Battle of The Bulge movie idea that was suggested to him by Quentin curious indeed.

Really cool! I want to catch it in LA! Will Nolan be there too?

[tangoche]

Waw, I am not a big fan of Christopher Nolan's pieces, but that seems an interresting work about undervalue filmakers and artists (in opposition against the Nolan's work, so it's a little bit astonishing from him :) )
