ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND

In the organizer's words:

Documentary - F 2024 - 105' - OmeU

Director: Raoul Peck

In 2017, 60,000 photo negatives were discovered in a Swedish bank safe. They came from the estate of South African photographer Ernest Cole, whose 1967 photo book "House of Bondage" showed the world the racist reality of the apartheid state. However, he was forgotten in the 1980s and died young. Raoul Peck (I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO) tells Cole's moving story with the help of his photographs and texts, which he wrote in exile in America and Sweden.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
