This programme includes The Seashell and the Clergyman, considered the first surrealist film. It is based on a scenario by Anonin Artaud, who said, 'To understand this film it is enough to look deeply into one's self.' A series of abstract shorts follows, presenting Dulac’s drive to produce a non-narrative cinema based on visual rhythms.
