Two by the Quay Brothers
The Quay Brothers were born in 1947 near Philadelphia where they studied at the Philadelphia College of Art, then later in London at the Royal College of Art. In 1980 they formed Koninck with their colleague Keith Griffiths and since then have produced a hybrid collection of film work: puppet animation, documentaries, interludes, commercials, and installations. OVID is proud to have two of their films, The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes and Sanatorium Under The Sign Of The Hourglass.
