Dali and Film in London

The Tate Modern opens a new exhibition, Dali and Film, featuring the work of Salvador Dali including major paintings, photographs, drawings and films that illustrate how important cinema was to Dali.

The exhibition has examples of some of the collaborations Dalí made with legendary film makers such as Luis Buñuel, Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock and the Marx brothers. The Tate says ‘film was a major passion throughout his career and Dalí was one of the first artists for whom film was a key influence as well as a creative outlet.’

Dali and Film is on at Tate Modern from 1 June-9 September 2007 with tickets costing £11, under 18s £8. The exhibition is open 10am-6pm Sun-Thurs, 10am-10pm Fri-Sat.
