Where to download Dali's "Destino"

November 20, 2006 10:37 AM

Salvador Dali's "Destino"- where can I find or download it?

The Dali/Disney collaboration that went unfinished back in the 1940's, "Destino", was finally made into a 7 minute film in 2003 thanks in part to Roy Disney's efforts, appearing in film festivals and museum exhibits, and even being nominated for an Oscar for animated short film.

However, it's still not apparently for sale/rental, and my search-fu has failed me in finding sources online to download or view the entire piece (I'd prefer to find a download copy that can be burned to CD).

Can any surrealist cineastes help out?

Thanks empath, but that- like the other items I found on youtube et al- are just clips- trailers, short snippets, etc. I'm looking for the full film (which runs about 6:40).

I saw the whole thing at a cool exhibition in Barcelona a couple of years ago and I'm really surprised that it's not out on dvd at the very least. According to the comments on the Destino page at IMDB, someone claims to have gotten an email from a person at disney that states:

"There are some rather ambitious plans to release "Destino" on DVD in '07. A feature length documentary on the making of the short is being prepared by a top documentarian and they are working on it as we speak. No firm release date yet, but it is coming. "Destino" impresses, amazes and amuses me everytime I see it.

So maybe it will be readily available soon. Good luck in your quest - it's worth seeing.
