After the big-budget space epic Interstellar, nobody could’ve predicted Christopher Nolan’s follow-up project: Quay, a short film about Stephen and Timothy Quay, identical-twin filmmakers who’ve spent decades fashioning their brand of puppet and stop-motion animation inspired by “Eastern European literature and classical music and art.” The piece will premiere in a touring, 35mm retrospective of three short films that Nolan has curated, and, ahead of its commencement at Film Forum later this month, a first trailer has arrived.
Previewed therein are the “broken pencils and lead shavings [of] In Absentia; a porcelain doll’s explorations of a dreamer’s imagination in The Comb; and the nightmarish netherworld of Street of Crocodiles.” All look rather lovingly detailed, and so the opportunity to see them in a theater, on film, should be taken by those with an ability to. (Of interest, then, is a list of theaters made available below the trailer and official poster.) If you can’t, however, a Blu-ray set — with Nolan’s short included — will arrive on October 20.
Have a look at all below (via EW):
