Surrealist cinema, as epitomised by Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'Or, was a knife through the very heart of the establishment - a scorpionic, scatological black joke galvanised by the irrational, the uncanny and the spectre of de Sade. Author Robert Short revisits these two seminal films and documents the experimental cinematic theories of Antonin Artaud and the filming of his Surrealist scenario The Seashell and the Clergyman. Short also looks at the work of Hans Richter, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray.
