Sur-reel Saturdaze is a trip into the bizarre realm of films that experiment with the reality of human experience. Rather than attempt to depict real life in an exact way, surreal cinema uses the creative possibilities of filmmaking to capture the thoughts and feelings of what it means to be human. Sometimes, these films even go beyond the human realm altogether. So, come join us on this weird journey! It might just blow your mind.
