MOVIES WITH THE MEADOWS | Salvador Dalí: In Search of Immortality (NR, 2018), directed by David Pujol

December 8, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Movies with the Meadows pairs scholar and screen; these in-person film screenings are followed by a short talk in the museum’s auditorium. This new documentary takes viewers on a journey through the life and work of Salvador Dalí and his longtime muse and collaborator, Gala. This film uses archival footage, images, and documents to examine Salvador Dalí himself, his relationship with Gala, his mind-blowing creations, and his surrealist life philosophies, bringing us closer to an artist who managed to create a character that itself could be considered a work of art.
