Guess who is coming to town - May 6th and 7th- the quai bros- who has been greatly influenced by the Czech animator who I recommended to you previously as well as a bunch of central European artists and writers.  I truly believe that your sensibilities match!

You can see this film on Monday April 27th at the Coolidge Corner movie theatre

The first live action feature from the Quay Brothers, INSTITUTE BENJAMENTA is inspired by the writings of Swiss novelist Robert Walser. The film focuses on the monotonous repetition of activity the inhabitants of the Benjamenta Institute for the Training of Domestic Servants face on a daily basis. The Quay's continue to explore their motifs of death, decay and nothingness, with live actors added to their collage of objects.
