Since the late 1970s, identical twins Stephen and Timothy Quay have amassed a filmography distinguished by their innovative and mesmerizing puppet animation.
Filtering visual, literary, musical, cinematic, and philosophical influences through their own utterly distinctive sensibility, each film features a hypnotic control of decor, music, and movement.
Quay is a new short by Christopher Nolan, a prominent member of their cult following. Nolan’s homage is paired in this program with several of the Quays’ iconic shorts: Street of Crocodiles, The Comb, and In Absentia.
