Video Availability:

• The Brothers Quay: Volume 1.
  Includes "The Street of Crocodiles", and "The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer". It runs a bit short at 35 minutes combined, though.
  
  
• The Brothers Quay: Volume 2.
  Includes "Epic of Gilgamesh", Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies", and "Nocturna Artificiala". These total at about 47 minutes.

Both are available on LaserDisc from The Voyager Company and VHS from Expanded Entertainment. The LaserDiscs are entirely CAV, a huge bonus that allows you to get perfect frame-by-frame access to better examine the puppets and sets
