Animations from the Inner Sanctums Collection / 1973-2013  

A one-off ‘Draw to Film’ event for anyone who wants to explore drawing, mark-making, music and film in new ways. Suitable for all skill levels, this special event will be a sensory entry point into the world of film, with a selection of animated shorts from the Quays’ essential collection, Inner Sanctums. Led by experienced artist-facilitator Jane Fordham, this is an opportunity to view and respond to visually inspiring films that lead drawing into new directions. 

Since the late 1970s, the twin Quay Brothers have made a unique contribution to animation in general and the puppet film in particular. Filtering arcane visual, literary, musical, cinematic and philosophical influences through their own utterly distinctive sensibility, each Quay film rivets the attention through hypnotic control of décor, camera, lighting, music and movement, evoking half-remembered dreams, fascinating and yet deeply unsettling in turn.
