A Stringent Prediction at the Early Hermaphroditic Stage (1961)
A Stringent Prediction at the Early Hermaphroditic Stage (1961)
Overview
“That was a film about a person who had a mystical religious experience. The idea entitled is the early stage of foetal development, the point when the foetus can become either male or female, so it’s a hermaphroditic stage. Somehow that had something to do with this person making a choice, a decision. Could go both ways, in a spiritual sense. I lost the film, and I expect it was rather ambiguous anyway. It was more or less an excuse to make some visuals and had images of church architecture, religious statues and things. I think it was influenced throughout by Gregory Markopoulos’ films.” (George Landow, interviewed by Tony Reveaux, 1977)

Detailed Bias Analysis
Primary
The film's highly abstract and experimental nature means its central subject matter is entirely apolitical, focusing on the medium of film itself and perception rather than societal or ideological issues. It presents no discernible political problems or solutions.
Based on the lack of specific information regarding the film's casting diversity or its narrative engagement with DEI themes, the evaluation defaults to an assessment indicating no explicit DEI characteristics in its representation or narrative framing.
Secondary
The film's title explicitly introduces the theme of intersexuality. However, without any plot or character details, the narrative's stance on this LGBTQ+ theme cannot be assessed as either affirming or problematic. The portrayal is therefore considered neutral, as the theme is present but its impact is undefined.
This experimental film explores the biological concept of hermaphroditism at an early developmental stage. Its focus is on scientific and biological themes related to intersexuality, not on the lived experiences or identities of transsexual or transgender individuals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This experimental film is an original work by Owen Land and does not adapt any source material with pre-established characters. Therefore, no characters exist who were canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender and then portrayed as a different gender.
The film is an original experimental short from 1961, not an adaptation of existing material with pre-established characters. Therefore, no characters have a prior canonical or historical race to be altered.
