Howls for Sade, a feature-length film created in June 1952, contains no images whatsoever.
Guy Debord, Contre le cinéma

The first showing of Howls for Sade—in Paris, June 30, 1952, at the Ciné-club d’Avant-Garde, then directed by A.-J. Cauliez, in the Musée de l’Homme building—was violently disrupted almost from the beginning by the audience and the film club managers.

The first complete showing took place October 13 of the same year at the Ciné-club du Quartier Latin in the Sociétés Savantes room, defended by a group of “left-lettrists” and a couple dozen additional supporters from Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
