As a whole, Dada focused on the tension between the construction and deconstruction of life and anti-bourgeois politics. Specifically in film, Dadaists used film to capture the sensation of physical movement in their work, and saw in film the means of overcoming the static nature of painting.Dada-related films have several characteristics in common: they disrupt viewer expectations of a conventional narrative , use cinematic defamiliarization of social reality to undermine the norms and code of social convention, and are constantly pointing to the film apparatus as an illusion-producing machine.

It does its job of taking art into the 20th century with moving images by attempting to capture the sensation of movement, and not just have static images.
