Description The image track of ''Hurlements en faveur de Sade'' contains no actual images, only solid white or solid black frames. It follows the sound track such that when there is speech the screen is white, and when there is silence the screen is black. The sound track uses text détourned from Isidore Isou's book ''Esthétique du cinéma'', John Ford's film ''Rio Grande'', work by James Joyce, and the French Civil Code. The time between speeches becomes increasingly long throughout the film, and it ends with a 24-minute sequence of silence and darkness. Production Debord wrote the original script for ''Hurlements en faveur de Sade'' during the winter of 1951–1952. His notes outlined a combination of original scenes and found footage.
