The document discusses the twin brothers Stephen and Timothy Quay, known for their stop motion animation films. It provides background that the brothers moved to England in 1969 where they began their film careers, influenced by Jan Svankmajer and Franz Kafka. Their films used stop motion animation with esoteric imagery and poetic, haunting styles. Their 1979 film "Nocturna Artificialia" used absence of light, poetic elements like red as a motif, and camera pans of empty spaces with bits of text. The document examines how puppet animation represents a hybrid form between a created "world" and representations of the real world.
