Directors statement:
My perpetual need to make movies began when I stepped out of the PJ’s one evening to attend a screening of the film, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, this film broke down what I thought was my artistic boundaries and since then, my directorial influences are those films done in some sort of unconventional surreal style, i.e. Psycho’s extreme close ups and aye motifs; Glengarry Glen Ross, and Dogville which were filmed on small simple sets, the urban surreal methodical pacing of Pawnbroker as-well as the subjective camera work in Buffalo 66.

Music: Dadaism: - An art style founded by Hans Arp in Zurich after WW1 which challenged the established canons of art, thoughts and morality etc. Disgusted with the war and society in general, Dadaist expressed their feelings by creating "non-art." The term Dada, nonsense or baby-talk term, symbolizes the LOSS OF MEANING in the European culture. Dada art is difficult to interpret since there is no common foundation. Marcel Duchamp's photograph of the Mona Lisa with a mustache is one example of the Dada movement's creations. Dada artists produced works which were nihilistic or reflected a cynical attitude toward social values, and, at the same time, irrational — absurd and playful, emotive and intuitive, and often cryptic. Less a style than a zeitgeist,
Dadaists typically produced art objects in unconventional forms produced by unconventional methods. Several artists employed the chance results of accident as a means of production, for instance. Literally, the word dada means several things in several languages: it's French for "hobbyhorse" and Slavic for "yes yes." Some authorities say that the name Dada is a nonsensical word chosen at random from a dictionary.
Many artists associated with this movement later became associated with Surrealism. Many other movements have been influenced by Dada, including Pop Art and Fluxus.
Movies: Examples of Dadaist works:
Francis Picabia (born "Francis Martinez de Picabia") (French, 1879-1953; active in New York and Barcelona, 1913-17), Dada Movement, 1919, ink on paper, 20 1/8 x 14 1/4 inches (51.1 x 36.2 cm), Museum of Modern Art, NY.
Jean Arp (born "Hans Arp") (French, 1886-1966), Abstract Composition, 1915, wood relief construction, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Iran.
TV: Surrealism or surrealist art - A twentieth century avant-garde art movement that originated in the nihilistic ideas of the Dadaist and French literary figures, especially those of its founder, French writer André Breton (1896-1966). At first a Dadaist, he wrote three manifestos about Surrealism — in 1924, 1930, and 1934, and opened a studio for "surrealist research."
