Frankie Dymon's Death May be Your Santa Claus (1969), arguably Britain's first and only example of a 'black power' movie, in which themes of sexual and political identity encircle one another in the context of a hip and hippy London of the late 1960s, suspended between the cinematic radicalisms of films such as Roeg's Performance, Godard's Sympathy for the Devil in which Dymon played a leading role, or Boorman's Leo the Last. Thought lost until quite recently, this inscrutably-titled film is described as a 'pop fantasy' and offers an intriguing look at 60s sex and politics from a black British perspective.

Black Power Militant
Tomando como trasfondo el panorama cultural de finales de los 60, Jean-Luc Godard nos ofrece en este documental un testimonio imprescindible de lo que se dio en llamar la contracultura occidental. Con un análisis profundo del movimiento de los Panteras Negras y con referencias a los trabajos de personajes tan relevantes como LeRoi Jones y Eldridge Cleaver, recorremos momentos significativos como una visita a los Rolling Stones en el estudio de grabación. En el DVD se ofrecen las dos versiones que existen de esta película: la del montaje del director y la del montaje del productor.
