Chomón's (1871–1929) short trick films, which rival those of Parisian contemporary Georges Méliès, are filled with whimsical elements that inspired the surrealists. Musicians from New York University have created new scores, based largely on traditional Catalan themes and performed by members of the National Gallery of Art Orchestra with guest conductor Gillian Anderson.
