Black and white 1920s film still of a man in a raccoon coat wrestling a giant plaster hand emerging from a grand piano in a tilted, distorted room.

A chaotic single frame from a 1920s Surrealist Dream Logic film. Hard studio lighting throws jagged shadows across a tilted parlor, caught on Orthochromatic B&W stock with heavy grain. The bizarre scene and Bell & Howell Eyemo framing embody early surrealist cinema's jarring, irrational aesthetics.
