From the early 1950s Laudański/Laurot began to be involved in film and criticism, offering encouragement to Peter Weiss.[8][9] De Laurot cofounded Film Culture magazine with Jonas Mekas in 1955, providing a Marxist-theoretical perspective to their criticism which Mekas later abandoned.[10] Mekas describes De Laurot's imperious style, to which he attributes many of the shortcomings of their collaboration on "Guns of the Trees."[6] )
De Laurot directed two documentaries via his production company, "Cinema Engagé." Black Liberation (1967) (also known as Silent Revolution) won the Agis Cup at Festival Del Popoli, Florence Italy 1968; the Silver Lion for Documentary at Venice International Festival, and the Ducat for Best Short Documentary at Mannheim West Germany in 1968. The film was narrated by Ossie Davis and featured voice recordings of Malcolm X and others of the Black Power movement. His second film was Listen, America! (1968) televised on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. It included powerful images shot on location at some of the most memorable demonstrations of 1967 and 1968 including the Pentagon, the Chicago Democratic Convention and riots, the occupation of Columbia University, and the Central Park Be-In. It included interviews with Noam Chomsky and others, and it focused on the political polarization of the New Left and the Right, the Anti War Movement, the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, and the 1968 Presidential Elections.

Dans un entretien intitulé "", Edouard de Laurot raconte : "la première fois que j'ai tenu une caméra dans ma main, ce fut à la fin de la guerre, j'étais un jeune adolescent. Nous avons capturé un tank allemand et à l'intérieur – en plus des équipements habituels – nous avons trouvé une Arriflex 35mm de combat. Alors nous avons expliqué aux soldats que nous leur laisserions la vie s'ils nous apprenaient à nous servir de cette caméra. Il y avait un mitrailleur autrichien tout tremblant et pas très convaincu que nous l'épargnerions. Mais nous l'avons fait, et il nous a appris." (Cinéaste, Spring 1970). "
