Cinema, as an artistic language defined by a distortion of perception and fabrication of reality, was a natural attraction for the avant-garde art of the 20th century. Inspired by early Dada experimental films and the feverish works of German Expressionism, film allowed the surrealists to create pure, tangible dreams. Though there aren’t that many de facto surrealist films, surrealism was formative to cinema history when the medium was still quite young. Denying logic, narrative, and even meaning, surrealist cinema opened pathways as to what a movie could be and pushed the audiovisual language to its farther boundaries. We’re going to look at a few of these bold surrealist films, as well as some movies that were influenced by surrealism over the last one hundred years.
