Salvador Dalí was a celebrated surrealist painter with an excessive creative ambition in regards to what was usual in the mid-20th Century. Among many other artistic disciplines, he did various and known contributions to the Cinema with capital letter, but he also invented a new form of cinema. He discovered that he could realise his dream by showing himself in front of the camera. It’s been a surrealist cinema, made out of short scenes, with a sole actor and director of scene, the famous Salvador Dalí acting out all sorts of eccentric roles. Cinema, Dalí brings about a completely new perspective on Salvador Dalí. Its investigation work has brought back into light and put back in order more than forty hours of images of archives from around the world. As new images appeared, the documentation team discovered links between them that threw a new light on Dalí's cinematographic ideas. The end result is a film approved by the Gala and Salvador Dali Foundation, the heir of the painter. If up until now we only knew about Dalí's work with the great film-directors Buñuel, Disney or Hitchcock, historians will now have to open a new chapter and a new genre dedicated to the cinema of Dalí.
