Guerilla Commercial 1973

Directed by Alexis Krasilovsky

What is it called when you run a women's film festival for one month, and show almost nothing but films by men the other eleven months of the year? Guerrilla Commercial protests discrimination faced by women filmmakers during the 1970s. Programmed without preview as part of Krasilovsky's first retrospective, held at the Whitney Museum on March 9, 1973, in a women's film festival entirely run by men, Guerrilla Commercial is the film the Whitney wanted to burn.
