Which 1929 film did Salvador Dalí co-create with Luis Buñuel?

The story behind the answer

Salvador Dalí co-created the 1929 film Un Chien Andalou with Luis Buñuel.

The short silent film was written and directed by Buñuel and Dalí, and it became one of the defining cinematic works associated with Surrealism. Its famous opening imagery and deliberately irrational sequence of scenes reject conventional storytelling and logic.

The title is French and is commonly translated as “An Andalusian Dog.” It is important not to confuse this film with L’Age d’Or, another Buñuel-Dalí collaboration released in 1930. Although Dalí contributed to both projects, Un Chien Andalou is the earlier film and the one most closely associated with their initial creative partnership.
