Editing L'Age d'Or (section)

==Production==
''L'Age d'Or'' began as the second artistic collaboration between [[Luis Buñuel]] and [[Salvador Dalí]], who had fallen out by the time of the film's production. A neophyte cinéast, Buñuel overcame his ignorance of cinematic production technique by sequentially filming most of the screenplay; the 63-minute film is composed of almost every meter of film exposed and dramatic sequence photographed.

The production budget was a million [[French franc|francs]], and was financed and produced by the [[Vicomte]] [[Charles de Noailles]] (1891–1981), a [[French nobility|nobleman]] who, beginning in 1928, yearly commissioned a film as a birthday gift to his wife, the Vicomtesse [[Marie-Laure de Noailles]] (1902–1970), who was a renowned [[Patronage|patroness]] of the arts and of artists, such as Dalí and Buñuel, [[Balthus]], [[Jean Cocteau]], [[Man Ray]], [[Francis Poulenc]], [[Jean Hugo]], [[Jean-Michel Frank]] and others.<ref name="Movie Diva">[http://www.moviediva.com/website/MD_root/reviewpages/L'Age%20D'Or.html ''L'Age d'Or''] entry in the Movie Diva website.</ref>
