Experimenting with film, he created one of the first abstract works of the cinema, \u003ci\u003eRhythmus 21\u003c\/i\u003e (1921). His later short \u003ci\u003eGhosts Before Breakfast\u003c\/i\u003e (1928), in which inanimate objects rebel against their owners, so impressed German critics that it was shown before prestigious UFA productions. In 1929, Richter founded the German League for the Independent Film to fight against censorship and the rumblings of war in his own country. He was unsuccessful in this regard, and in 1940 emigrated to America to escape Nazi persecution. Settling in New York, he ensconced himself in the avant-garde scene in Manhattan, making connections with many of the artists who would assist him on \u003ci\u003eDreams That Money Can Buy\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eDreams\u003c\/i\u003e would be the crowning achievement of Richter's American sojourn, winning the award for Best Original Contribution to the Progress of Cinematography at the 1947 Venice Film Festival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"COLOR: #0000ff\"\u003eDVD Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Rated:  NR\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Runtime:  1 hours,  30 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Encoding: Region 1(US \u0026amp; Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Originally Released:  1\/1\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Label:  Alpha Video\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarring: Jack Bittner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: blue 3px solid; WIDTH: 675px; HEIGHT:140px; BORDER-TOP: blue 3px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: blue 3px solid\"\u003eThis product is made-on-demand by the manufacturer using DVD-R recordable media.
