    As part of its month-long retrospective showcase of the phenomenal work by the Quay Brothers, two of the world's most original filmmakers and this year's Coolidge Award recipients, the Coolidge Corner Theatre presents a selection of shorts rarely seen in this country. The program includes two exquisite dance films. THE SANDMAN unites dance, music, and film, magically blurring the boundaries between real and imaginary, visible and invisible. The transcendent ballerina Zenaida Yanowsky embodies our deepest emotions (2001, 43 minutes). DUET, created around the music of Arvo Part, with choreography by Will Tuckett, features ethereal performances by Adam Cooper and Zenaida Yanowsky, principal dancer with the Royal Ballet (2000, 18 minutes). Also on the bill: a collection of the Quays' television commercials for the likes of Murphy's, Nikon, Wood Dulux, Doritos, Honeywell, and Walker's Crisps.

    Tickets available online at www.coolidge.org or at the Coolidge box office, 290 Harvard Street, Brookline.
