# Spellbound’s dream sequence becomes a repertory-film teaching object of Surrealist design in Hollywood craft

Date: 1945

## The fact

In 1945 Spellbound released a [Dalí](/people/salvador-dali)-designed dream sequence that later repertory and film-school circuits taught as public craft. This Fact stores that teaching-access path.

It is one event.

## Context

Split industrial capture. A dream can be a product and a lesson about how studios absorb avant-gardes.

Salvador Dalí’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Same 1945 picture as the product-capture row. Repertory and BFI teaching later made the sequence a classroom object. Hitchcock, Selznick, and Dalí share it.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

BFI and Britannica independently treat the 1945 sequence as a documented Hitchcock–Dalí collaboration.

## Significance

A repertory dream sequence is a film-education path.

Keep the studio-capture sibling.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1945 Spellbound sequence as public film. Not established: that Dalí directed the picture.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Salvador Dalí.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

They are not a public rating.
