And the King Said, What a Fantastic Machine
February 1st, 2023 / Kevin Ward
Sundance 2023
A rather spellbinding look at the history of photographic imagery, how pivotal images are in shaping our worldview, and how from essentially the very beginning, images have been manipulated to tell a story. It spans from the very first photographic images to the billions of daily Instagram posts. However, the "narrative" feels scattered and unfocused because of the massive scope. Even still, it's quite a captivating watch featuring a gorgeous collection of images.
