Historia
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), commonly known as Salvador Dalí (Catalan pronunciation: [səɫβəˈðo ðəˈɫi]), was a prominent Spanish Catalan surrealist painter born in Figueres.
Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.
Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes" to a self-styled "Arab lineage," claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors.
Dalí was highly imaginative, and also had an affinity for partaking in unusual and grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork to the dismay of those who held his work in high esteem and to the irritation of his critics.

¿Quién fue realmente Salvador Dalí? ¿Qué nos queda de él? Genio artístico y mediático construyó su imagen y colocó tanto a sus obras como a él mismo en el centro. Guiado por sus obsesiones y sus fantasías, nadie trata como él la sexualidad, el deseo y el amor. Desde Freud al surrealismo, de la sexualidad al dinero y del misticismo a la ciencia el "Mito Dalí" continúa presente. (De la web de RTVE)

El documental se basa en la vida y obra de Salvador Dalí desde 1929, año crucial para la carrera profesional del artista que ingresa en el grupo surrealista donde conoce a Gala, hasta 1989 año en el que fallece. En todo este recorrido vital y artístico, destacan los escenarios de la vida de Dalí como Portlligat, su casa-taller; Figueres, su ciudad natal; y Púbol donde se encuentra el castillo que el artista regaló a Gala, la que fue su musa. Esta cinta dirigida por David Pujol (La biblia negra) cuenta con muchas aportaciones documentales que acercan la figura del pintor surrealista tanto a su vida profesional, haciendo un recorrido por sus creaciones, como a la personal, contemplando su relación con Gala y los acercamientos y distanciamientos familiares, a través de imágenes y documentos.

En 1975, el polifacético artista y director de culto Alejandro Jodorowsky soñó con un proyecto: la adptación de la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción "Dune", de Frank Herbert'. Junto al guionista de Hollywood y maestro de efectos especiales Dan O'Bannon, el (futuro) diseñador de "Alien" H.R. Giger y el artista de cómics Jean “Moebius” Giraud, todos bajo la dirección de Jodorowsky, "Dune" sería una superproducción cuyas cotas de ambición sobrepasaban todos los límites. Un sueño que se derrumbó antes de poder alzarse. Al fin, tras cuatro décadas, un documental nos desvela el film que pudo ser el "Dune" de Alejandro Jodorowsky, documental que emplea un enfoque similar a "Lost In La Mancha" de Terry Gilliam, y que nos permite descubrir entrevistas con sus principales artífices y una inmersión en todo el trabajo de pre-producción creado para la cinta.

Salvador Dalí sentía una profunda pasión por la ciencia. Su obra refleja los principales descubrimientos científicos del siglo XX: el psicoanálisis, la teoría de la relatividad, la fisión del átomo y la mecánica cuántica, el descubrimiento del ADN… Incluso su firma está directamente influida por una imagen científica. La obsesión de Dalí por la ciencia forma parte de su voluntad de trascendencia. El pintor, que no escondió nunca su miedo a la muerte, quería crear una obra genial que le hiciese perdurar en el tiempo. Utilizaba el lenguaje y los conceptos científicos para ir más allá del mundo tangible, para explorar nuevas dimensiones que superasen la realidad cotidiana. Dimensión Dalí revela un aspecto desconocido de uno de los artistas más importantes del siglo XX y ofrece una nueva perspectiva para interpretar algunas de las obras maestras de Dalí.

In his book "1984", George Orwell saw the television of the future as a control instrument in the hands of Big Brother. Right at the start of the much-anticipated Orwellian year, Paik and Co. were keen to demonstrate satellite TV's ability to serve positive ends-- Namely, the intercontinental exchange of culture, combining both highbrow and entertainment elements. A live broadcast shared between WNET TV in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, linked up with broadcasters in Germany and South Korea, reached a worldwide audience of over 10 or even 25 million (including the later repeat transmissions).

The films were made between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol's Factory studio in New York City. Subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong key light, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film at 24 frames per second. The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in 'slow motion' at 16 frames per second.

Filmmaker Jack Bond and Salvador Dali got together at Christmas 1965 to make Dali in New York, a highly entertaining film. Dali devoted two weeks of his life to creating extraordinary scenes for the film, performing "manifestations" with a plaster cast. A thousand ants and one million dollars in cash. When he confronts the feminist writer, Jane Arden, sparks fly. "You are my Slave! I am not your slave. Everybody is my slave." Dali recalls his meeting with Freud, "The last human relationship ever" About his wife, 'But for Gala I would be lying in a gutter somewhere covered with lice" Jim Desmond's dazzling cinematography captures the great artist painting as Flamenco virtuoso Manitas de Plata performs. Dali in New York is a rare treat for anyone who loves film and the living theatre of Dali's surreal universe.
