Film education program for schoolchildren What is cinema?

In May, we are presenting the last "jour fixe" program in this school year. This time, we are concentrating on 10th and 11th-grade students. The subject on the second Friday of the month will be Surrealist film.

We will be showing one of the movement's main works, Luis Buñuel's UN CHIEN ANDALOU (An Andalusian Dog, F 1929) in which Salvador Dalí and Buñuel attempted to transpose the ideas and approaches of Surrealism to film. Breton's guiding principle: "Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought," became the rule of a film whose images continue to challenge our viewing habits today.
