Death May Be Your Santa Claus

Frankie Dymons Death May be Your Santa Claus (1969), arguably Britains 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 Roegs Performance, Godards Sympathy for the Devil in which Dymon played a leading role, or Boormans 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.
