Ghosts Before Breakfast

A film by Hans Richter

  • 1928
  • 9 min (approx.)
A still from Ghosts Before Breakfast.

Bowler hats fly off and float out of reach, a bow tie unties itself and a clock ticks towards noon as everyday objects rebel against their owners. It was made for the 1928 music festival in Baden-Baden, and Paul Hindemith's score for it is lost.
