While the debate rages on regarding which movie wins the title of “first Surrealist film” (we've got our money on the erotic mindwarp The Seashell and the Clergyman) it's clear that movements from French New Wave to Japanese anime have felt Surrealism's influence. The Frist Center's Off the Wall lecture series shines a light on their current exhibit, Twilight Visions: Surrealism, Photography and Paris. In this second installment, Kelli Shay Hix, moving image archivist at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, discusses the techniques and intentions of Surrealist film pioneers while illuminating the stories behind their masterworks with her lecture “Re-Assembling Reality: Surrealism and Surrealist Film in 1920s and 1930s Paris.” Expect commentary about Antonin Artaud, Salvador Dali and a poor cow that sacrificed its eyeball for art.
