Post No Bills
is a documentary film on satirical political poster artist Robbie Conal directed by Clay Walker.
This documentary was filmed in Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco from 1990–1992. At the center of the film is a poster that featured LAPD Chief Daryl Gates superimposed on a NRA shooting target with the text "Casual Drug Users Ought To Be Taken Out and Beaten."
The controversial posters were glued around the city of Los Angeles in March 1991. Post No Bills
documents these postering exploits and contains an interview with Daryl Gates discussing the poster.

the Silver Hugo for feature length documentary.
Post No Bills
