A collaboration between Salvador Dali and Walt Disney from 1946 that occurred when Dali had come to America to escape the Second World War and decided that the visual art of Hollywood was an area that he could make an artistic impression on. Because Hollywood is such an artistically conservative place, it was always going to be a difficult fit, but this surrealistically, beautiful cartoon successfully illustrates that it could have been an artistically inspiring fit.

Somewhere between surrealist and steampunk, this film was made to accompany the song “Children” by Hauschka. The cinematography is excellent and the story is abstract but captivating.
Portal: No Escape. Director Dan Trachtenberg has re-envisioned a grittier take on Portal. Starring Danielle Rayne in the role of Chell, although, with her never speaking a word, that’s never explicitly stated. She’s kept prisoner in a room and eventually discovers the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (the proper, fancy name for the Portal gun) and uses it to escape, only to realize she’s in a test chamber. The fan-favorite Companion Cube doesn’t make it an appearance, nor does GLaDOS or any cake, though you do get to see a few Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cubes.
