A film retrospective presented by the American University's School of Communication and College of Arts and Sciences, American Film Institute, SPAIN Arts & Culture, Mexican Cultural Institute, Cultural Services of the French Embassy and National Gallery of Art.
The singular vision of filmmaker Luis Bunuel (1900-1983) may have dictated a similarly one-of-a-kind career arc. Co-creator, along with fellow Spaniard Salvador Dali, of the classic surrealistic films Un Chien Andalou (1929) and L'age d'Or (1930), the scandalous reception that greeted both films earned Bunuel no commercial opportunities, the Catholic Church's opprobrium, exile from the ascendant fascism of 1930s Europe and more than a decade without making a feature film.
Free screenings will take place on Friday, November 4, 2016 (Los Olvidados) and Thursday, November 17, 2016 (Illusion Travels by Streetcar) in the Malsi Doyle/Michael Forman Theater, McKinley Building, American University.
