Surrealism, a reaction against the rationalism that had plunged Europe into the cataclysmic First World War, sought to reunite the conscious and subconscious minds in order to create a new view of reality. Incorporating archival clips of André Breton, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Salvador Dali, and Herbert Read as well as footage of modern surrealists Conroy Maddox and Jake Chapman, this program analyzes the history of the movement. Works by Ernst, Ray, Dali, René Magritte, and Luis Buñuel are featured.
