L'anticoncept

  • 59'
  • France
  • 1952
Premiered on Feb.11, 1952, and immediately banned, the first experimental, imageless film of Gil J. Wolman is divided into two sections: a non-narrative soundtrack, some kind of interior monologue including physiological noises, and a visual part built on the irregular alternation of black and white circles screened on a meteorological balloon. In April of the same year, Wolman led a systematic disruption of the Cannes Film Festival and was only saved by a police escort. His L’anticoncept still remains one of the most radical films of all time.
