About the Show
The Quay Brothers are filmmakers whose knack for creating miniaturized worlds has earned them accolades from The New York Times as “masters above all of an unusually entrancing form of stop-action animation.”
The Quay’s masterworks to be screened are STREET OF CROCODILES (1986), called “their crowning achievement” by Film Comment, is a nightmarish exploration of a netherworld. Finally THE COMB (1991) is heralded as their “most beautiful of their recent films” by The New Yorker, featuring the music of Leszek Jankowski.
Following the short film screenings, special performances by “New York’s most daring violin duo” String Noise (Time Out NY) and “singular harp virtuoso” Mélanie Genin (Epoch Times) will premiere new works by composer Ricardo Romaneiro with visuals by Christian Hannon and choreography by dancers Matilda Sakamoto & Amanda Krische
