i am searching for information of
film and photography in surrealism.
do somebody know good websites, books,...about that sujet?
as for photography, the best book i've come across on the subject is:
Edouard Jaguer's
Les mystères de la chambre noire : le surréalisme et la photographie
from 1981 or so.

==============================================
"Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a
certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and
the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the
incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as
contradictions."
...André Breton
==============================================
There is a book called "Dada and Surrealist Film" Edited by Rudolf
Kuenzli, that gives a solid review and introduction with lots of
bibliography.
Now, tell me, are you attractive ?
And should we have sex together ?

Do you intentionally creep people out?
And are you wearing pants?
Film --
The best I've read are: J.H. Matthews' "Surrealism and Film" (1971), a
very clear look at surrealism's concepts of cinema and how they've
been implemented; and Paul Hammond's "The Shadow and Its Shadow"
(revised 1991), which gathers divers surrealist writings on cinema.
The best book on Buñuel's films is "Objects of Desire," a collection
of interviews. (I also like the Durgnat book though it doesn't take a
surrealist perspective.)
If I could read French, I would search out Ado Kyrou's and Robert
Benayoun's books, or the magazine "L'Áge du cinéma" they published in
the 1950's.
Photography --
Man Ray's autobiography.
