Today cinema examine as thought and action in the context of societal changes. Surrealism is one of the schools of thought that was formed with the beginning of the new wave of cinema and had a significant impact on Iranian cinema. This research examines two films "Hamon" by Dariush Mehrjooi and "House on Water" by Bahman Farman Ara as the prominent films of the surrealist school and analyzes them through discourse semiotics. According to the discourse semiotic method, these works have the characteristics of surrealist cinema, including the following elements: "black realism" and "fluid rationality", (which are the central signs of surrealist thought), confusion and ambiguity, despair and lack of imagination for the future generations of society, extreme criticism of religion and religious strata of society, mechanical determinism, freedom, decline of generations, integration of subject and object, non-commitment, selfishness and wandering (the surrounding signs) in these films have been represented. These principles have been explained in the six semiotic system (image, movement, speech, writing, phonetic and musical) in the analysis of the text of the works and examination of the temporal and spatial context and intertextuality.
