Fall Film Series
Surrealism in Film
The surrealists were among the first artists to realize the power of film. They believed that images from the unconscious, particularly dreams, could create insights and inspirations capable of transforming the world. These fantasies shouldn’t be merely escapist, but perhaps a little disquieting, and we experience in our series the touch of a Beast’s fur, the dank chill of a shadowy dystopia, the attentions of a too-mysterious lover. All films introduced by NCMA Film Curator Laura Boyes unless otherwise noted.
