Dada was a movement that developed during the first world war, around 1916-1922. It concentrated on anti-war politics, and rejected the current standards seen in art. The word Dada was chosen as a meaningless word, and reflected the purpose of the movement, to ridicule the modern world. It was also anti-bourgeois and anarchist in it’s nature.Surrealism developed out of Dada in the early 20s and is known for the art and writing of it’s group members. The films featured the element of surprise, the unexpected, and were out of the traditional sequence.
Un Chien Andalou is a silent surrealist short film made in France. It defies convention by seemingly having no plot, and a disjointed chronology, jumping in time with little change in character and events. It’s closely associated to the then-popular Freudian free association.
