Ghosts Before Breakfast (German: Vormittagsspuk) is a 1928 German dadaist animated short film directed by Hans Richter. It utilizes stop motion for some of its effect and live action for others. The film does not present a coherent narrative, and includes a number of seemingly arbitrary images. The original soundtrack, written by Paul Hindemith, was destroyed by the Nazis, but new audio tracks have been created by artists such as The Real Tuesday Weld. British composer Ian Gardiner, who has written many scores for cinema and television, created a score for the film in 2006 (premiered by the Liverpool group Ensemble 10/10, directed by Clark Rundell). UK-based American composer Jean Hasse (Visible Music) wrote a score in 2008 for the UK-based ensemble Counterpoise (violin, trumpet, alto sax, piano).
Before Breakfast is a 1919 American short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd.

Genres: Drama,Via Wikipedia: "Hans Richter (April 6, 1888 -- February 1, 1976) was a painter, graphic artist, avant-gardist, film-experimenter and producer. He was born in Berlin into a well-to-do family and died in Minusio, near Locarno, Switzerland." "Throughout his career, he claimed that his 1921 film, Rhythmus 21, was the first abstract film ever created. This claim is not true: he was preceded by the Italian Futurists Bruno Corra and Arnaldo Ginna between 1911 and 1912 (as they report in the Futurist Manifesto of Cinema), as well as by fellow German artist Walter Ruttmann who produced Lichtspiel Opus 1 in 1920. Nevertheless, Richter's film Rhythmus 21 is considered an important early abstract film."
Hans Richter was one of the original members of the Dada movement. Starting out as a Cubist painter he soon went into film. This is one of last, made in 1947, it's more Surrealist than Dada in dealing with the world of dreams. It's broken down into episodes which are collaborations with a varied cast including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Darius Milhaud, Alexander Calder, blues singer Josh White and notorious torch singer (and black widow murder suspect) Libby Holman. The musical backing sounds remarkably modern. More on Richter and his films on my film blog @; http://thesilverscreensurfer.blogspot.ca/2013/07/the-dada-films-of-hans-richter.html
5mm, black and white, 17 mins Director - Hans Richter Production Company - Film Society Collaborator - Len Lye Original Score by - Robert Naughton Cast: Sergei Eisenstein (policeman) Basil Wright; Michael Hankinson Every Day was a film that German avant-garde filmmaker Hans Richter made as part of a film production course run by the Film Society. It features filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein playing a policeman, while Len Lye and Basil Wright provided technical assistance. These contributions reflect the sense of internationalism occurring at this time in British film circles. The film was completed in 1929 under the title The Daily Round, but was never released because Richter was unhappy with the result. Richter began to rework the film in 1975, but died before its completion. It was final...
Berliner Hans Richter (1888-1976) was a pioneer of the avant garde cinema, a member of the Dada movement. He began playing with silent film as art expression in 1921, & it's hard to imagine filmmakers like Luis Bunuel & Fritz Lang weren't influenced by Richter, whose influence among Berlin & Paris avant gardists & surrealists of the '20s is undeniable. However, the claim that his first film was completed in 1921 may have been a fib concocted two or three years later, merely to fudge his dates a hair ahead of Walther Ruttmann's Opus 1 (1922) as the first avant garde film experiment in Berlin, a point or possibility which art & film historians will likely always argue. Richter's earliest experiments were hardly more than tests, Rhythm 21 (Film ist Rhythmus aka, Rhythmus 21, 1921) consisting ...
A little bit about Hans Richter via Wikipedia "Richter's first contacts with modern art were in 1912 through the "Blaue Reiter" and in 1913 through the "Erster Deutsche Herbstsalon" gallery "Der Sturm", in Berlin. In 1914 he was influenced by cubism. He contributed to the periodical Die Aktion in Berlin.[2] His first exhibition was in Munich in 1916, and Die Aktion published as a special edition about him. In the same year he was wounded and discharged from the army and went to Zürich and joined the Dada movement. Richter believed that the artist's duty was to be actively political, opposing war and supporting the revolution. His first abstract works were made in 1917. In 1918, he befriended Viking Eggeling, and the two experimented together with film. Richter was co-founder, in 1919, of...

"Ghosts Before Breakfast (Vormittagsspuk, 1928) is said to have initially been a sound film but the Nazi attempt to destroy all copies as "degenerate art" has left us only a silent version. This short film functions even without the sound it once had, & likely the only thing lost was a musical score. Using stop motion techniques we see the rapid motions of a clock, flying hats settling like a flock of birds in the bushes, a neck tie that refuses to stay tied, windows opening & closing as they elect, hoses coiling & uncoiling themselves & spraying the flying hats, & other inanimate objects becoming animated for their own benefit. Pistols multiply like mammals, dancing about & cocking their triggers. A great many men hide behind a slim pole. Broken dishes put themselves together. A seed grow...
Film by Hans Richter. Music from the free album "Objet petit Dada" by Gestalt OrchestrA (2008) http://morne.free.fr/celluledessites/gestalt_orchestra/objet_petit_dada.htm "(...) Inflation, parabole caustique sur la situation économique régnant alors en Allemagne et qui déboucha sur la crise de 1929."
After his early abstract "Rhythmus" series Richter made this quirky Dadaist short. Rhythm is still very important in the movie, while humor and associative imagery replace the strictly abstract animations of his previous works. There is quite a lot of elaborate stop motion and other effects, while somehow it seems like the crew was just goofing around with a camera on a sunny afternoon. Besides this humor and playfulness there is enough sense of structure and meaning to regard it is a serious piece of art. The sound version, with an original score composed by Paul Hindemith, was destroyed by the Nazis as "entartete kunst".
Dadascope by Hans Richter. Transfer from original 16mm print. DADASCOPE (1961) Run time: 39 min Starring: Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Jean Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Raoul Hausmann and others. Dadascope is a comprehensive portrait of the Dada movement with its specific techniques of sound and visual clash, word puns, chess, dice and other games of chance. Richter stated, "There is no story, no psychological implication except such as the onlooker puts into the imagery. But it is not accidental either, more a poetry of images built with and upon associations. In other words the film allows itself the freedom to play upon the scale of film possibilities, freedom for which Dada always stood - and still stands."
