The Brothers Quay


THE BROTHERS QUAY



·       The Quay brothers are two of the world's most original film-makers

·        Identical twins who were born in Pennsylvania in 1947, Stephen and Timothy Quay originally studied illustration and later on started to make animated short films in the 1970s.

·        Influenced by a tradition of Eastern European animation, the Quays display a passion for detail, a breath taking command of colour and texture, and an uncanny use of focus and camera movement that make their films unique and instantly recognisable.

·        Best known for their classic 1986 film ‘Street Of Crocodiles’

·        They are masters of miniaturisation and on their tiny sets have created an unforgettable world.

Feel free to watch a few minutes of their work, 'Street of Crocodiles', to get a basic idea and understanding of what their work consisted of:
