Another new Christopher Nolan film already?! Yes indeed. But it's not what you're thinking. Thanks to a tip from The Film Stage, NYC's Film Forum venue has announced a special screening series coming up this August. They'll be showing three of the stop-motion animated shorts from American filmmakers Stephen and Timothy Quay, known as the Quay Brothers, as well as the new short film from Christopher Nolan about the brothers. Titled just Quay, Film Forum will be hosting the world premiere of the documentary, shot on 35mm, profiling the brothers and their animation work. This is the first we've heard of the doc at all.
Here is the event info direct from NYC's Film Forum - where you can buy tickets and find more details.

THE QUAY BROTHERS IN PERSON! Thursday, Friday and Saturday (Aug. 20/21/22) at 7:00 pm
The screening series will take place on August 20th-22nd at Film Forum in New York City. Introducing the Quay Brothers: "American identical twins working in London, stop motion animators Stephen and Timothy Quay (born 1947 in Norristown, Pennsylvania) find their inspiration in Eastern European literature and classical music and art, their work distinguished by its dark humor and an uncanny feeling for color and texture." So far they've made a number of shorts and other animated specials, including the three mentioned which will be screened: In Absentia (2000), The Comb (1991), and Street of Crocodiles (1986). Given this is the world premiere of Christopher Nolan's new doc Quay, we expect to hear more about an official release down the line. In the meantime we'll keep an eye out for more Nolan updates and will be watching for this.
