Dali & Beyond Film Series: Stop Motion Ani-MAY-tion

A dark, twisted, yet enchanting version of the classic fairy tale. Set in a world of dark and shadowy tenements, shining high-tech labs and septic landscapes of garbage and ruins, The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb makes a touching her of the tiny child mysteriously born to a woman and man in the seediest part of town. Tiny Tom is snatched by sinister forces for evil experiments in a lab full of mutant creatures. He narrowly escapes into a world where he finds companionship with people his own size and starts to fight back against the 'giants' alongside Jack the Giant Killer. Nothing is likely to prepare you for your entry into the astonishing timeless world created by bolexbrothers' director David Borthwick, where strange humans are animated, latex figures breathe as if alive and objects and odd creatures crinkle and crunch in the corner. It's a world of genuine horror and moving moments that has the power to unsettle and enchant in equal measure. (1995, 70 min., DVD; NR probably R).

Over the lovely "Camino de Santiago", the Way of St. James, which is the ancient route leading from the Pyrenees to the famous and ancient shrine of Santiago de Compostela, this documentary follows the journey of several pilgrims who differ in culture and religious faith, united only by a mysterious attraction towards the same spiritual destination.

Across breathtaking landscapes, we experience a journey that is at once concrete, mystical and metaphorical in a continued alternation between past and present, between the history and legends that have fashioned the destiny of the Way of St. James. This ancient route that concludes at the shrine where St. James the Apostle is buried is the most famous Christian pilgrimage in the world. Now you can take this ancient journey through this beautifully produced film. -Amazon (2010, DVD, 105 min., NR)

About Destino: The idea behind the film as described by Disney is "just a simple love story - boy meets girl." The animated short is a love story as only Dali could imagine it, complete with the images as only he could create - melting clocks, tuxedo-clad eyeballs without faces, ballerinas, ants that turn into bicycles, and surprising baseballs.

Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody of the "Oompah-Loompah" songs that punctuate the story. It's the story of the impoverished Charlie Bucket, who, along with four other kids and their parental guests, wins a coveted golden ticket to enter the fantastic realm of Wonka's mysterious confectionery. After the other kids have proven themselves to be irresponsible brats, it's Charlie who impresses Wonka and wins a reward beyond his wildest dreams. But before that, the tour of Wonka's factory provides a dazzling parade of delights, and with Gene Wilder giving a brilliant performance as the eccentric candyman, Wonka gains an edge of menace and madness that nicely counterbalances the movie's sentimental sweetness. It's that willingness to risk a darker tone--to show that even a wonderland like Wonka's can be a weird and dangerous place if you're a bad kid--that makes this an enduring family classic. -Jeff Shannon (Stuart, 1971; 100 min; rated G)

A fictionalized account of Dali's early life, "Little Ashes" is a contemporary story about universal themes such as love and relationships, longing, loss and betrayal. The three main characters are important Spanish figures - Salvador Dali, poet Federico Garcia Lorca and filmmaker Luis Bunuel - who met as students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Dali, Lorca and Bunuel defied their society's politics and forged new ground during a time when being an artist was revolutionary - and being a gay or bisexual artist was dangerous. Together, these distinct personalities learn from each other and develop a complex new language about the nature of art. (2008, 112 minutes, directed by Paul Morrison and starring Robert Pattinson)

Un Chien Andalou remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. The result of Luis Bunuel's collaboration with Salvador Dali, the 17-minute, 1929 film was designed expressly to shock and provoke. Opening with the canonical eyeball-slashing sequence and divided into baffling "chapters", this is a work of art obsessed with religion, lust, decay, violence, and death. Un Chien Andalou isn't simply one of the great works of the surrealist movement, but a segment of cinematic DNA that irrevocably altered the aesthetics of film. -Ryan Boudinot (Bunuel & Dali, 1929; 17 min; Not Rated)

Simon of the Desert is Luis Bunuel's wicked and wild take on the life of devoted ascetic Saint Simeon Stylites, who waited atop a pillar surrounded by a barren landscape for six years, six months, and six days, in order to prove his devotion to God. Yet the devil, in the figure of the beautiful Silvia Pinal, huddles below, trying to tempt him down. A skeptic's vision of human conviction, Bunuel's short and sweet satire is one of the master filmmaker's most renowned works of surrealism. -Amazon (Bunuel, 1965; 45 min; Spanish with English subtitles; Not Rated)

Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican, Luis Bunuel's hilarious vision of life as a beggar's banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, the young novice Viridiana does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism.

Class, sex, and food are the obsessions of this Spanish comedy drama, an international hit from writer and director J.J. Bigas Luna that plays like a cross between the lusty Like Water for Chocolate (1992) and the early work of Pedro Almodovar. In a small town in Spain's arid Monegros region, young underwear factory executive Jose Luis (Jordi Molla) falls in love with the beautiful Silvia (Penelope Cruz), a worker on the shop floor. When Silvia becomes pregnant, Jose Luis wants to marry her, but his mother Conchita (Stefania Sandrelli), the factory owner, is appalled by the thought of her son marrying a working-class girl, especially one who is the daughter of a prostitute, Carmen (Anna Galiena). So Conchita hatches a scheme to woo Silvia away from her son by hiring handsome model Raul (Javier Bardem) to seduce the girl.

Having constantly continued to construct his image and orchestrate the presentation of his work and his persona, Salvador Dali is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century. This documentary, directed by Francois Levy-Kuentz, "unpeels" the myth, interweaves the painter's themes with his life story and includes some exceptional archive material in which the artist offers interviews and happenings, often previously unseen because of censorship.

The DVD explores, through Francois Levy-Kuentz's film and a large proportion of the audiovisual archives presented with the Centre Pompidou exhibition, the many faces of this artist still held in the collective imagination.

A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. -Robert Lane (Wise, 1951; 92 min; rated G)

The Dali Museum Junior Docent Program is a summer camp offered to children 9 to 12 years of age. The students are trained in a one-week session where they receive personal attention as they learn about the collection. This program concludes with a Friday afternoon tour and reception where the children get to share their knowledge of Dali and his paintings with the public. They participate in fun, surreal-inspired activities; and they make new friends.

Cost: $175 General; $125 Dali Members. Early registration highly encouraged.

This gentle reworking of Ted Hughes's 1968 novella was the unseen gem of 1999. Hogarth, a young boy who lives in the Maine woods during the cold war, befriends a giant robot. As with E.T., the iron giant is a misunderstood outsider who becomes a child's best friend, and Hogarth does his best to hide the massive figure from his mom (voiced by Jennifer Aniston) and the local scrap-yard beatnik (Harry Connick Jr.). Soon the suspicions of neighbors and a government agent (Christopher McDonald) spell trouble. -Amazon (Bird, 2004; 86 min; rated PG)

Space alien (Bowie) crash lands on Earth, seeking help for his drought-stricken planet. By securing patents to advanced technology, he becomes a fabulously wealthy industrialist. However, money and its attendant decadence ultimately exert a stronger gravitational pull. Bowie seemed perfectly cast as the space traveler, and the film further cemented director Roeg's status as one of the most unique filmmakers of the 1970's. Originally cut by 20 minutes in its 1976 US release, this version presents the complete film. (Roeg, 1976; 139 min; rated R)
