Overview

In 2015, Christopher Nolan curated a selection of short films by the surrealist animators the Quay Brothers to be distributed as a touring 35mm presentation. The three films—"In Absentia" (2000), "The Comb" (1991) and "Street of Crocodiles" (1986)—were accompanied by this brief portrait of the brothers at work in their London studio.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A mesmerizing glimpse into the secretive creative process of identical twin animators, capturing the meticulous, dreamlike world they've constructed in their studio. It's a portrait of artistic obsession rendered as gently disorienting as the surreal stop-motion worlds they inhabit.
