Details
Join us for an evening dedicated to some of the pioneers of Surrealist Cinema, including René Clair, Germaine Dulac, Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau. A close cousin to Cubsim, Surrealism attempted to bring the unconscious mind to visual life resulting in uncanny and often nonsensical combinations of objects, people and landscapes. Featuring Entr’acte (1924, 22 minutes), The Seashell and the Clergyman (1928, 38 minutes), Un Chien Andalou (1929, 16 minutes)
