This is a short film (6.47) that Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaborated on in 1946, but never finished. 6 decades later, and the disney artists completed the film using Dali's storyboards.
This doesn't fit with our studio area, but I just found it really interesting and wanting to share it anyway. It has ties to Narrative art (as film usually does). The storyline is like Dali's paintings, very bizarre but very intersting, with a smooth shift from one sense of reality to another. Within the changing dimension we have a simple story of longing, love and loneliness. The film has no dialogue, but instead is empowered by a beautiful song (written by mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez), at times mournful and then triumphant.
The style of this story telling can be related to some postmodern literature, which abandons the concept of a linear narrative.
Art and Today comments on postmodern narrative, stating that art critic Craig Owens sees it as a form of allegory. Allegory allows multiple interpretations of events or characters to hold deeper meanings, which can be applied to Dali's art.
