State Funeral is available on Mubi and in UK cinemas from 21 May. The ongoing project of the prolific Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsaâs nonfiction work, continued in State Funeral, might be described as one of bearing witness to people bearing witness to history â observing the manner in which individuals strive to find the âappropriateâ response to the import of a historical moment, and in the process making a viewer aware of the limitations of what can be understood of peopleâs interior lives through the cameraâs scrutiny. In 2016âs Austerlitz, the subjects are tourists filing through Nazi death camps; in 2018âs Victory Day, itâs visitors, mostly from the former USSR, to the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park near Berlin, commemorating the anniversary of the unconditional surrender of the city to Soviet occupiers.Â
Toronto Star’s Heather Mallick described them as “thoughtless, ahistorical and self-congratulatory” and proclaimed that we must stop trusting photography. When data scientist Samuel Goree tested DeOldify, an AI colourization app, to convert a greyscale copy of Alfred T. Palmer’s 1943 photograph Operating a hand drill at Vultee Nashville, the result produced an image in which the black female subject’s skin was lighter. Interventions like these are not unique among the history of photographic manipulation — the Cottingley Fairies photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths in 1917 are a prime example. But alongside sophisticated internet tools like deepfakes (where a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else), the use of algorithms to alter photographs has provoked renewed anxiety about the authenticity of photography in the digital era.

VICE published an interview with artist Matt Loughrey on April 9 in which he discussed his recent work colorizing images from an archive of photographs of genocide victims, documented as they arrived at the S-21 Tuol Sleng Prison in the late 1970s. Many were subjected to torture before being murdered.

Martinez, who was appointed to his first term as the Louvre’s director-president in 2013, has been vocal about his desire to stay on in the role, stating that he has no plans to direct any other museum.
According to the Guardian, Cambodian authorities condemned images published by the George Soros (pictured above with Bono) funded media group, Vice Media. The vice published colourised images featuring victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide with some images apparently edited to add smiles to their faces.

The images were originally taken in black in white by the jailers as part of their incarceration record keeping.
