FI 329 — Surrealism in the Moving Image

3 credits; 2 lecture and 2 lab hours

This course looks at dreamlike and surrealist films, artworks, and fashion, from Bunuel to David Lynch to Charlie Kaufman and beyond.  It will explore “psychic automatism,” an art without logic, rules, narrative, or reason. We will explore filmmakers/magicians who deliberately defy convention, noticing the alchemical magic that can result.
