How it feels
This is a short silent film that acts like a visual poem. It uses strange camera tricks and dreamlike images to create a free-flowing, non-linear experience.

What happens
Emak Bakia (Basque for Leave me alone; full title: Emak Bakia (CInépoème) (Fichez-moi la paix)) is a 1926 French surrealist short film directed by Man Ray. Termed as a cinépoème (cinematic poem) by its author, it features many techniques Man Ray used in his still photography (for which he is better known), including Rayographs, double exposure, soft focus and ambiguous features.
