Ernest Cole: Lost and Found

USA | 2024 | doc | 106 min | English | d.s.

Photographer Ernest Cole, born in 1940 in South Africa, took his camera to the streets in the late 1950s to document the injustices of life under Apartheid. He was inspired to become a photographer after seeing a book of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s images of Moscow. Later, in exile in New York, Cole’s anger became visible in his photographs of America during the 1970s and 1980s. His images of Black people in New York City and the South reflect suffering, resilience, exhaustion, and joy.

In 2017, 60,000 negatives of Cole’s photographs were discovered in a bank in Sweden. Using both Cole’s photographs and his words, the film captures a wide range of emotions and experiences. Cole focuses his attention on ordinary people, their inhumane living conditions, and their grueling work in gold mines. The director balances these extremes, delivering a rich chronicle of Cole’s unique career, artistic vision, political strength, and moving final years.
