Dalí: Painting & Film
October 14–January 6 | Art of the Americas Building*

Throughout his life and career, renowned surrealist Salvador Dalí maintained a deep connection with film as an artistic medium. He collaborated with movie greats such as Luis Buñuel, Alfred Hitchcock, and Walt Disney, and created works influenced by Cecil B. De Mille and the Marx Brothers. Dalí: Painting & Film, coming to Los Angeles, the epicenter of film, aims to illustrate the cinematic influences and elements that are present in Dalí's work as well as the contribution he made to cinema. The exhibition brings together a variety of key pieces from Dalí's oeuvre, incorporating painting, film, photography, sculpture, and texts. Dalí: Painting & Film is organized by the Tate Modern, London, in collaboration with the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation.

You should visit the Dali museum in St Petersburg, FL. It's really cool.

Dalí, Disney and Destino
Friday, November 16 | 7:30 pm
Dalí: Painting & Film | European Surrealism and the American Avant-Garde Cinema
Surreal Cartoon Program (1920s-1940s/c. 60 min.)
Destino (1946-2003/color/7 min. | Scr : Salvador Dalí, John Hench; dir: Dominique Monfery)

A celebration of the magic realism of Disney's early animations (including a selection of Silly Symphonies and excerpts from Fantasia) will culminate in a presentation of Destino, a voyage through Dalí’s inimitable dreamscapes. The painter began work on Destino while under contract at the Disney Studios in 1946. Though never completed by Dalí, Destino was finally animated at Disney in 2003 from the hundreds of detailed drawings and notes he left. The film received an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short.
