NOCTURNA ARTIFICIALIA

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Still for the 1979 Stephen Quay & Timothy Quay Animated Short NOCTURNA ARTIFICIALIA.

Shot on 16mm and funded by the British Film Institute’s Production Board, Nocturna Artificialia is a remarkably confident piece of work, the Quays surmounting obvious technical and budgetary limitations to create a private universe entirely out of their own recurring obsessions. Their later films may be more assured, but their roots are clearly visible here, in their earliest surviving film.

The still is in very good condition.
