Dalí in New York is a unique portrait of the great Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí by the legendary English filmmaker Jack Bond. Accompanied by the pioneering feminist Jane Arden, Bond was to trail Dali in the run-up to the opening of his exhibition at the Huntington Gallery of Modern Art. As absurdist and entertaining as its subject, Dalí in New York is a classic of the documentary form

The stark, dream-like sequences in this 1929 seminal short film, including slicing open a woman's eye, introduced the world to Surrealism in cinema.
