Fade to Black

Tony Cokes
1990

32 Minutes

Date
September 1-30, 2023

In this meditation on contemporary race relations, two black men discuss in voiceover certain “casual” events in life and cinema that are unnoticed or discounted by whites—gestures, hesitations, stares, off-the-cuff remarks, jokes—details of an ideology of repressed racism.

Presented on e-flux Film as the September 2023 edition of Staff Picks.
