Live Sound Cinema: A Night of Surrealism

Run Time: 80 min. Format: DCP

Join us as for a journey through the dreamscape as The Flushing Remonstrance bring three seminal surrealist films to life with all-new live scores.

Un Chien Andalou (“An Andalusian Dog”) is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali’s 1929 groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.

Man Ray’s Le Retour à la Raison (“The Return to Reason”) (1923) pioneered abstract expressionism in film with its scenes of Paris by night, shapes, geometry, and the female form.

Jean Cocteau’s 1932 Le Sang d’un Poete (“The Blood of a Poet”) creates a haunting and mesmerizing collage of allegory and symbolism, indelible dream imagery, and abstract effects that explore poetry, artistic creation, haunted memory, death, and rebirth.
