This film introduces the beginnings of the Dada and Surrealist movements, telling the story of their development in both Europe and Britain. Surrealists referenced include Joan Miró, André Breton, Roland Penrose, René Magritte and Salvador Dalí.
The film was produced to coincide with the exhibition 'Surreal Encounters: Collecting the Marvellous' which brings together some of the finest works of Surrealism from four legendary collections, those of Roland Penrose, Edward James, Gabrielle Keiller and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch.
