    Desc: Frændeløs: Directed by Ole John, Allan De Waal, Per Kirkeby, Jørgen Leth, Peter Louis-Jensen, Vagn Lundbye, Bjørn Nørgaard. With Lene Adler Petersen, Bjørn Nørgaard, Vagn Lundbye, Jørgen Leth. Leth directed one of the six parts of this film anthology initiated by Werner Pedersen, the head of SFC [Statens Film Central, the National Film Board of Denmark, later amalgamated into the DFI]. Bjørn Nørgaard and Lene Adler Petersen's celebrated "action" in which the latter walked through the Copenhagen Bourse building stark naked with a crucifix in one hand is included in the film, and in general it is a highly experimental work, typical of its time, in which each artist worked freely, suing his or her own imaginations and filmic methods. Leth's contribution is a black and white, frontal shot of a hippie girl talking to the camera in English about her attire and other subjects. Leth's voice is heard off screen, emphasising the artifice of the medium.
