Event: Dali in New York + Q&A with Jack Bond, 26 May 7pm, The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD

Dalí in New York is a unique portrait of the great Spanish surrealist painter and all round egotistical exhibitionist Salvador Dalí by the legendary English underground filmmaker Jack Bond and his then partner the pioneering feminist Jane Arden. Bond was to trail Dalí for two weeks in December 1965 in the run-up to the opening of exhibition of the artist’s work at the Huntington Gallery of Modern Art. The resulting film provides an unrivalled snapshot of the surrealist at antic work and zany play, performing ‘manifestations’ with plaster casts of Michelangelo statues, thousands of ants and a coffin filled with $1 million dollars in used notes and reminiscing about Sigmund Freud. As absurdist and entertaining as its subject, Dalí in New York is a classic of the documentary form and this rare screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director Jack Bond hosted by the author Travis Elborough.

‘Dalí off the cut is outrageous and this exceedingly stylish film moves like an express train’ – Nancy Banks Smith, The Guardian
