afternoon at the movies on March 9 at
in Mandeville Auditorium.
Director Geoffrey Gartner promises to disrupt spectators’
mental anxieties with live orchestral accompaniment to René Clair’s “Entr’acte”
(1924) and Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s “Un Chien Andalou” (1929).
“Entr’acte” represents a Dadaist collaboration featuring
slow-motion action in reverse and a series of tenuously related items — from
canons to eggs to ballet dancers. Similarly, “Un Chien Andalou” has no plot,
reflecting the one rule to which Dalí claimed to have adhered: “No idea or
image that might lend itself to a rational explanation of any kind would be
accepted.”
The program also includes works by de Falla and Rossini and
features guest soloist Robert Zelickman on clarinet. Admission is $10 general,
$5 for students and free with a UCSD ID.
