Notes

  • The Inhuman Woman (1924)
  • Aelita (1924)
  • The Hands of Orlac (1924)
  • Ballet Mécanique (1924)
  • Diagonal-Symphonie (1924) - Viking Eggeling
  • Adam and Eve (1924) Marcel Duchamp and Bronja Perlmutter
    • Three years later, immediately after the self-portrait in the Monte Carlo Bond –in Cinésketch, a theatrical diversion of Picabia and René Clair- Duchamp reappears as Adam in a tableau vivant based on a sixteenth-century painting by Cranach, displaying an evidently artificial beard (a significant counterpart to the ambiguous beard of foam), a watch, and a shaved pubis. Certainly not the last 'shaving' in his work.
  • Inversions
    • Inversions, the first French gay journal is published. Produced between 1924 and 1926, it stopped publication after the French government charged the publishers with compromising public morality.
  • André Breton publishes the surrealist manifesto
  • Heroin Illegal in USA
    • Since 1924, when Congress made it illegal to manufacture, possess, or sell heroin, America has been free from heroin as well -- if not in practice, then at least in theory. --Schaffer Library of Drug Policy
