 The movie started production when Tristan Tzara (qv) presented  Man Ray (I) (qv) with the program of a Dadaist festival he was  planning. Man Ray saw there was a certain "exhibition of a Dadaist  movie by Man Ray" printed on it, and suddenly realized he had to do  something about it. He decided to make it by placing objects over  pieces of film inside a darkroom and then turning the lights on to  print their shadows on the film. There is no audio track.
