ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND - New England Premiere!

(France 2024, 105 minutes)

In this Cannes prize winner for best documentary, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) chronicles the life and remarkable work of Ernest Cole, one of the first Black freelance photographers in South Africa. Cole fled South Africa in 1966, lived in exile in the U.S., and published his landmark book of photographs, House of Bondage, which denounced apartheid and cemented Cole’s place as one of the great photographers of his time (at the young age of 27). Following his death, more than 60,000 of Cole’s 35mm film negatives were inexplicably discovered in a bank vault in Stockholm, Sweden in 1997. Telling his own story through his writings, and the recollections of those closest to him, ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND is a fascinating reintroduction of a pivotal Black artist to a new generation.
