This year dedicated to filmmaker Luis Buñuel, on the 125th anniversary of his birth
For the fourth edition, the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is organizing, together with the Diòptria Film Club, the Surrealist Film Series. This year it is dedicated to the filmmaker from Calanda, Luis Buñuel, in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of his birth. The event is held in collaboration with the Figueres City Council.
On Thursdays in August, at 9:30 p.m., in the Gala-Salvador Dalí Square, some of the filmmaker’s most iconic films will be screened: on the 7th, The Exterminating Angel (1962); on the 14th, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972); and on the 21st, The Phantom of Liberty (1974). All activities are free of charge.
This year, the Surrealist Film Series will feature an inaugural session inside the Dalí Theatre-Museum, with the presence of Jordi Xifra, director of the Buñuel Center in Calanda and expert on the life and work of the Aragonese filmmaker. He will engage in a conversation with cultural journalist Agus Izquierdo in an intimate format that will take place in the museum’s Lòggies courtyard.
Additionally, coinciding with the final weeks of the 50th anniversary of the Dalí Theatre-Museum, visitors will be able to enjoy the temporary exhibitions The Soft Photographic Apparatus, My Favorite Painters, and view the latest acquisition by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, The Birth of Liquid Anxieties (1932). This event is also free, though prior registration is required.
