Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People (2014)

The film explores the role of photography, since its rudimentary beginnings in the 1840s, in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans from slavery to the present. The dramatic arch is developed as a visual narrative that flows through the past 160 years to reveal black photography as an instrument for social change, an African American point-of-view on American history, and a particularized aesthetic vision.

The survey the film provides is bracing, and there are plenty of talking heads to guide us through the kaleidoscope of imagery. Unfortunately, there’s also a public-television vibe to the proceedings that mutes the overall power. It’s essential info presented with little imagination.

This is sound-bite cinema, revealing at times, but also frustratingly basic stuff.

It's all way too much, for in his desire to be comprehensive, Harris plumb forgets that less would have been more.

Thomas Allen Harris's documentary consistently takes agency away from the art itself with a litany of talking heads.

Director Thomas Allen Harris, who has a background in transmedia art, has made an earnest, though often sloppy, documentary on the essential role imagery plays in shaping the narrative of a people.
