This is a 4 minutes excerpt from youtube, the full movie is about 90 minutes long and can be found on ubuweb (http://www.ubuweb.com/film/debord_hurlements.html)
The movie consists of either black or white images only. In the white-phases, you can hear a conversation between four people, in the black-phases, there is only silence.
When it was first shown, the film was stopped after a short time because of audience-protests. Next time, Situationists stopped the audience from leaving the cinema, by promising them things and threatening them. The last part of the movie is 24 minutes of black and silence.
--> compare to Peter Kubelka's work "Arnulf Rainer" (1960), which is also just black or white and sound or silence, but follows a strict mathematical structure.
