From his early association with Luis Buñuel as a pioneer of avant-garde cinema, to his fascination, friendships, and collaborations with Hollywood luminaries such as Walt Disney, Cecil B DeMille, the Marx Brothers and Alfred Hitchcock, Catalan-born Salvador Dalí (1904–89) had a lifelong fascination with the cinema. In conjunction with the Dalí & Film exhibition, this series celebrates Dalí’s passion for film by presenting both his own infamous work and many rare treasures that provide insight into his passions and influences.

This series is related to the Dalí at Tate Modern exhibition
