En el año 1952, el joven Guy Debord, que se iba a convertir en el principal teórico de la Internacional Situacionista, presentaba en el Musée de l’homme de París la película ‘Hurlements en faveur de Sade” (Lamentos en favor de Sade), ochenta minutos de pantalla en blanco con voz en off, **reproduciendo discursos letristas*+ o pos-surrealistas. Además de pretender crear situaciones, Debord transmitía esa negación absoluta del cine: ya que el mundo había sido filmado, le tocaba ahora transformarlo.

Lettrist discourse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettrism
As I mentioned before. Lettrism, which stems from Dadaism (Max Ernst! Love him...)
My instinct was off, though "lyrical discourse" works in other cases...

yeah no, this is definitely about the Lettrists. As it features on a list of techniques he used, I would go for "use of ...". Does that help at all?

OK so yes, the film "reproduces Lettrist or post-surrealist discourse, accompanied by a blank screen with the volume off"...

Lisa, I think this article might help, not just for this query but in general for this guy:
http://archive.sensesofcinema.com/contents/directors/07/debo...
It gives us more options for this phrase as well. A common term in early twentieth century art is "utterance", and it is used all over the place. You could say "reproduces Lettrist utterances". They may or may not be "found" texts, it seems.
Hope that gives you some more ideas.

So rather than being Lettrist discourse as in bits of their manifesto or theories, or texts that embody this theory written by the artists themselves (such as surrealist poetry, for instance), you may well be looking at a black, silent film with "found" texts being read over it.

Another option (sorry, thinking aloud again) would be to simply use the words "read" and "text". "the film consists of readings of lettrist texts accompanied by silence and a blank screen" etc.
