In the studio with animation legends the Quay Brothers

The Klassiki Podcast is back! To kick off our third season, we're stepping into the studio with Stephen and Timothy Quay, aka the Quay Brothers.  The duo’s career spans five decades and has seen them craft features, shorts, music videos, adverts, and installations – all in their unmistakable signature style combining stop motion and live action, surrealist flourishes, and an eye for the macabre. Their new feature film, 20 years in the making, is an adaptation of The Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass by the Polish author Bruno Schulz. And we’re delighted that the Brothers have curated a new season of titles for Klassiki subscribers, launching this Thursday 6th February. Host Sam Goff sat down with the Brothers in their London studio, the Atelier Koninck, to discuss their long personal and creative relationship with Eastern Europe, from their student days in the 1960s to their latest film.   Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass is screening at this year’s Kinoteka Film Festival: get your tickets here. Klassiki Picks with the Quay Brothers runs on the site from 13 February - 6 March. Sign up for a free 7-day trial at klassiki.online.
