Ono, Y. (b.1933). "A film of many happy (365) endings/ Yoko Ono/ Film no.4". Offset poster printed in black and red, 76x101 cm., London, n.publ., n.d. (1967). - Folded; mouldy spot in lower blank corner. = Poster for the second version of Film no.4, also known as "Bottoms" (the first being the 5,5 minutes Fluxfilm 16). "The longer version of No. 4, Ono's first non-Fluxus film, marks a transition in her filmmaking. She shot the film at the Belgravia house of Victor Musgrave, aided by [Anthony] Cox, during a long stay in London. Ono developed the structure of the earlier No. 4 by expanding the number of bottoms (theoretically to 365, one for each day of the year), encouraging both friends and associates to participate by placing an advertisement in the newspaper, extending the film's length to eighty minutes and including a soundtrack (...) The longer version of No. 4 was privately screened, then banned in London by the British Board of Film Censors, a decision protested by Ono with a small, peaceful demonstration. A few weeks later, the Greater London Councel Licensing Committee granted the film an X-rating certificate" (A. Munroe/ J. Hendricks, Yoko Ono Yes (2000), p.211f). Cf. I. Pfeiffer, Yoko Ono Half-A-Wind-Show (2013), p.157.
