A film in episodes of Filmklasse Braunschweig with contributions by:
Derhoske, Malte Hartewieg, Sabine Janz, Vivian Oliveira, Meike Redeker, Deborah Uhde und Michael Brynntrup

»CheUn Dalou« is film in episodes by Filmklasse Braunschweig referring to the film 'Un Chien Andalou' (1929) by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel. This radical classic is one of the most important Avant-garde films and it's influences reaches from the modern art film until today.

The collective project by Filmklasse uses the 'material' of the original as a starting point for individual approaches to the surreal theme. The results are very different episodes – from usage as found-footage-source to analytic pulling apart, from performative interventions to the creation of completely new inner worlds.
