Description:

Soleil Noir bears a French title and was submitted by Roger Ayral of Paris. It is a very unusual film done in black-and-white that shows what can be done by projecting black and white designs on the dancing figure of a ballerina. Its 8 minutes is a little long for the subject, but it is different—an excellent study in designs and rhythm," PSA Journal, Mar. 1970, 44.
