  Louis Beel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After these elections Dr. Beel assisted the Roman Catholic politician Jan de Quay in forming a Catholic-liberal cabinet, ending for the time being the 'red-Roman coalition', which had been Dr. Beel's own initiative in 1946.
The De Quay cabinet appointed Dr. Beel as Vice President of the Council of State, the most prestigious office in the Dutch administration, the head of state being the honorary President of the Council.
Whereas other political leaders, who had come forward after the war, one by one left the political scene and the 'participation-democracy' of the New Left movement created a new type of politician, Dr. Beel retained in the authority of the Council of State a great influence on government.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Surreal Animation | Deseret Morning News Web edition
While the Quay brothers are masters of miniaturization, using tiny puppets to illustrate their works, Svankmajer is more likely to use a combination of live actors, clay animation and props for his shorts, and Barta stiffly animates mannequins.
Included in the Quays' program, which makes up the bulk of the festival, are videos for songs from Michael Penn and His Name Is Alive, as well as "The Comb," a mix of fl-and-white live action and color miniature animation that looks at the dream of a sleeping beauty.
But surely the Quay's crowning achievement to date is "Anamorphosis," a fascinating and dazzling animated discussion of the 17th century artistic technique relating to perspective in art, which may be more effective than any academic lecture on the subject.

 Shifting Realities: The Brothers Quay--Between Live Action and Animation
Whether working in animation or live-action, the Quays choose to use what they call a lateral hierarchy of cinematic formal aspects; unlike conventional films, in which the hierarchy is vertical, topped by a script and narrative, the Quays cast the Institute before the actors.
In scenes of elusive cinematic and literary reference which identify the Quays' films, one is obliquely reminded of silent filmmakers Kirsanov, Murnau, the surrealist Buñuel and the Russian film poet Tarkowsky; of Kafka (who was greatly influenced by Walser) and of essential myth and fairy tale.
Seen as a whole, the Brothers Quay's works are independent of any definable genre; indeed, the imitation of their unique style which can be observed in films of other animators are a complimentary gesture to the auteur style they have developed.

Devotees of the Czech animation maestro Jan Svankmajer, the Quays display a passion for detail, a breathtaking command of color and texture, and an uncanny use of focus and camera movement that make their films unique and instantly recognizable.
The Quays have also directed pop promos for His Name is Alive, Michael Penn, Sparklehorse, 16 Horsepower, and Peter Gabriel (contributing to his celebrated “Sledgehammer” video), and have also directed ground-breaking commercials for, among others, The Partnership for a Drug Free America, Coca Cola, MTV, Nikon, and Slurpee.
Most recently the Quays have made four short films in collaboration with composer Steve Martland for a live event at the Tate Modern in London (read about the collaboration in The Guardian) and are in pre-production on their long-awaited second feature THE PIANO TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES.

 Quay Brothers
As is typical of all of their responses to such questions, the brothers' initial reply coyly played with the myth they had, perhaps, generated for themselves by stating that each has one atrophied testicle and a sly liking for geese (2).
The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer (1984) is the Quays most explicit interpretation of influence as it is a direct homage to the Czech master animator.
Of these works, the Quays have said that they are, in some way, connected to their personal output with “just the same dark drift, basically inscrutable.

the camera movement while the figures are moving isn't as polished as it is in the quays' films, but of course, there was less technology too.
