Short films that set aside conventional storytelling for dream logic, collage and personal imagery, from the Surrealist Un Chien Andalou of 1929 to Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon of 1943. A work belongs here when its article calls it an experimental, avant-garde or surrealist short film. Works are placed by what their cited article states about their country, form and period, and each work sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a film that fits two traditions goes where its article places it first.
