Surrealism (1993)

The Seattle Avant Garde filmmaker Karl Krogsad asks, "So what is so 'Surreal' about Surrealism?" His new documentary catches the answer. Krogstad's grand attempt to explain the concepts and aesthetics behind the great art movement, through dizzying interviews, mind bending film clips and bizarre re-enactment's. In the history of modern art the Surrealist movement seems at once the most familiar and the most elusive chapter. The antics of the "Surrealists" have passed into legend. SURREALISM the documentary recreates these antics and explains what they meant.
