VIDEO: The Dadaist Films of Hans Richter

Posted by Lori Zimmer on Thursday, January 9, 2014 · 2 Comments

Flying hats, floating neck ties, stacked guns- Hans Richter’s Dadaist film “Ghosts Before Breakfast” from 1927 is nothing short of amazing- and inspiring. The film opens with “The Nazi destroyed the sound version of this film of “degenerate art”. It shows that even objects revolt against regimentation”- love the message and love this film.
