The short step through the door of the Quay Brothers exhibition may seem the longest part of the journey to the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies of the University of Exeter, such is their creepy world of animation.

The show is part of Animated Exeter and you’ll be able to catch the twins talking about their work on Saturday February 16 at the Exeter Picturehouse at 6.30pm, and you can sample a short collection of their work on Sunday, February 17 at 5pm at the University of Exeter Cinema Society.

The islamic studies exhibition has sets from the brothers’ seriously adult animation films, which include The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer and their acknowledged masterpiece (according to the blurb) Street of Crocodiles.

Here they are chatting with a few samples of their work. Whetted much?
