Ernest Cole: Lost and Found15
South African photographer Ernest Cole was the first to reveal the brutal realities of apartheid to the world. His groundbreaking book, House of Bondage, published in 1967 when he was just 27, forced him into exile in New York and Europe for the rest of his life. From director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), this powerful documentary serves as a poignant homecoming, reclaiming Cole’s legacy and shedding light on a vital chapter in the ongoing fight for justice and human rights.
Reviews
‘It’s through his remarkable pictures of South Africa and Black America, however, that we really hear his voice.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer
‘In its strongest moments, the film is paced with real tempo – a sense of sophisticated motion that runs in tandem with its subject matter of the concrete, bustling, yet fluid cityscape.’
★★★★
Lucy Peters. Little White Lies

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
