Quay Brothers

The Quay Brothers' partly animated exploration of the Wellcome Trust's medical collections.

The Quays' best-known (and highest budgeted) short takes place in nightmarish netherworld populated by strange and sinister puppets.

A woman dreams of a fairytale landscape populated by ladders and sinister puppets.

The Brothers Quay take on the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh, presenting the character as a childlike figure who sets a series of vicious traps to catch Enkidu, the guileless forest creature.

The Brothers Quay's visualisation of a piece by Karlheinz Stockhausen. A woman alone in a room repeatedly writes a letter with tiny broken off pieces of pencil lead. Outside her window, vistas of ever-changing light register her every emotion.

The debut film from the Brothers Quay follows a dreamer who's seduced by the mystery of the city at night. He leaves his room and goes into the street, where a tram-car carries him away.

Beautiful near-abstract black-and-white animation inspired by the work of painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (and his anatomist cousin Honoré).

An intricate, multi-layered exploration of the aesthetic and philosophical aspects of Švankmajer's animated films.
