Ghosts Before Breakfast

Presents Hans Richter's witty, cinegenic mini-classic on the universal theme of the objects' revolt, an excellent introduction to avant-garde film. Produced 1927-28. , An absurdist Dada comedy that defies social and cinematic conventions. Through pixilation, derbies fly through the air, pistols are fired but no one is injured, dishes break and are reassembled, and objects refuse to be regimented. Originally created for the 1928 Baden-Baden music festival with a Hindemith score now lost.
