Summary: Since the late 1970s, the identical twin Quay Brothers have made a unique contribution to animation in general, and to puppet film in particular. Filtering arcane visual, literary, musical, cinematic and philosophical influences through their own utterly distinctive sensibility, each Quay film rivets the attention through hypnotic control of decor, music and movement, evoking half-remembered dreams and long-suppressed childhood memories, fascinating and deeply unsettling in turn. Street of Crocodiles and In Absentia were both selections of the **Cannes Film Festival**.
