- This preserve protects sphagnum bogs and a small “eyelet” pond, which represent ecosystems that are now extremely rare in the Puget Trough. Eyelet ponds are open water areas bounded by a quaking mat of sphagnum peat. The preserve includes populations of few-flowered sedge, a state-listed sensitive plant, plus Hatch’s click beetle and Beller’s ground beetle, both state-candidate animal species only found in very good condition sphagnum bogs.
- Surrealist cinema (Wikipedia)
Surrealist cinema is a modernist approach to film theory, criticism, and production, with origins in Paris in the 1920s. The Surrealist movement used shocking, irrational, or absurd imagery and Freudian dream symbolism to challenge the traditional function of art to represent reality. Related to Dada cinema, Surrealist cinema is characterized by juxtapositions, the rejection of dramatic psychology, and a frequent use of shocking imagery. Philippe Soupault and André Breton’s 1920 book collaboration Les Champs magnétiques is often considered to be the first Surrealist work, but it was only once Breton had completed his Surrealist Manifesto in 1924 that ‘Surrealism drafted itself an official birth certificate.’
