Stefan and Franciszka Themerson films APTEKA (1930) and MOMENT MUSICAL (1933) were lost or destroyed. Both titles were experimental photogram films.

Subject: Re: Lost Films
Two of Hollis Frampton's earliest films were reported lost: he left
_Clouds Like White Sheep_ (1962) on the New York subway and the lab
lost _Obelisk Ampersand Encounter_ (1965). His accounts of these
losses vary from interview to interview, but one account is in Scott
MacDonald's A Critical Cinema, vol. 1, pp 26-27.
