One of the most widely recognized and controversial artists of the 20th century, Salvador Dal was also an avant-garde filmmaker, collaborating with such giants as Luis Buuel, Walt Disney, and Alfred Hitchcock. Influenced by the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton, and Stanley Kubrick, Dal used the cinema to bring the "dream subjects" of his paintings to life, providing the groundwork for revolutionary forays into television, video, photography, and holography. From a moviegoing experience that would incorporate all five senses to the tale of a womans hapless love affair with a wheelbarrow, Dals hallucinatory vision never fails to leave its indelible mark, while his writings continue to be relevant to discourses surrounding film and surrealism.
