September 23, 2025 -56th Nashville Film Festival Day 6

Instagram

Next week on Thursday at the @fristartmuseum, join us for an exciting screening and conversation in conjunction with the exhibition International Surrealism from Tate: Fifty Years of Dreams.

Presented by Sarah Childress, PhD, “Breaking Out, Breaking In” pairs two landmark films to showcase how the surrealists and those influenced by their ideas used film as an instrument of liberation. Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s Un Chien Andalou (1929) is brazen, confrontational—a deliberate assault on social and sexual convention. Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) burrows inward, a patiently relentless descent into a confining psychic architecture, to find the way out. One lunges outward, the other sinks inward; both are trying to break free.

NashFilm members receive complimentary gallery admission and discounted parking! We hope to see you there.
