jon_chaissonWhile I'm on this art kick, here's some more interesting dada/surrealist/avant garde filmmaking I studied at Emerson...
Entr'acte, René Clair, 1924
Ballet Mechanique, Fernand Léger & Dudley Murphy, 1924
Ghosts Before Breakfast, Hans Richter, 1928
Un Chien Andalou, Luis Buñuel, 1929
(Yes, this is the film that the Pixies song "Debaser" is about, and you may remember MTV using a colorized edit as a bumper at one point.)
Meshes of the Aternoon, Maya Deren & Alexander Hammid, 1943
Prelude: Dog Star Man [first 9 minutes], Stan Brakhage, 1961
[The complete Dog Star Man lasts about 78 minutes and is in 5 parts...and a few years later Brakhage made an even longer version called The Art of Vision that lasted 270 minutes.]
