Brothers Quay Preview - Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass

This clip is from the Youtube page of:

Polish Cultural Institute in London

The Quay Brothers have been working on their third feature film for several years, inspired by Bruno Schulz’s novel ‘Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass’. 

Recently they've shared with us exclusive preview clips of the upcoming film, which were previously displayed only as a part of 'Dream Pools & Collecting Holes’ exhibition at TENT. IFFR earlier this year. 

Embark on a surreal journey to the Sanatorium, the world in between sleep and wakefulness, a limbo of uncertainty, where time cannot be truly measured and objects roam with a force of their own. 

We proudly support the production of #BrothersQuay 'Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass' and look forward to watching this masterpiece when it's complete.

Baby Snakes, Frank Zappa stop motion clay Animation

Every now and then I wish to post some stop motion animation that I think is cool and this is one of them. This is one of three videos. The others are fairly neat also. Hope everyone is staying safe.

Quay Brothers on time and animation

The way they explain their process is amazing.
 The analogies they use and the ideas they come up with.

Absolutely amazing.

Surrealisms not dead.
Support imagination.

Insects: Last film of Jan Svankmajer

Possibly the last film he will make. 

Insects is a surreal comedy film directed by Jan Švankmajer, the film is based on the play Pictures from the Insects' Life by Karel and Josef Čapek. Švankmajer says that the film will be his last. It premiered on 26 January 2018 at International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Looks like they reached their goal.

Brothers Quay - DVD Picks

A clip of the Quay Brothers picking out DVDs. I'd love to watch them shop for groceries. 

Imagine what they would say about various fruits and forms of sustenance. 

Maybe their shopping cart would only consist of black and white food. 

Amazing.
