| Brief Description: | This tape features three animated shorts by the famous Quay brothers.
Their universe of puppet animation, inspired by Czech animator Jan
Svankmajer, is one where decaying dolls, primitive machinery, and
other found objects interact in an Expressionist world of
ultra-reality. They create masterfully bizarre landscapes in Epic of
Gilgamesh, Rehearsals of Extinct Anatomies and Nocturna Artificiala.
"The loveliest, most hypnotic, most profoundly disturbing films ever
made in that particular form" (Terrence Rafferty). 50 mins. |
