About the Film
The coupling of the Quay Brothers’ vision with the collections of the College’s Historical Medical Library and Mütter Museum has produced a riveting experience of contemplative set pieces exploring the College. This short film (running time: 31 minutes) is the first made in the United States by these internationally recognized artists. Adding to the film’s visual strength is a powerful musical score by composer Timothy Nelson and a resonant voice-over by Derek Jacobi.

Through the Weeping Glass was commissioned by The College of Physicians of Philadelphia and jointly produced by Atelier Koninck QBFZ, Ltd., and PRO BONO films.

This project has been supported by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative.
