All light everywhere
All light everywhere
Theo Anthony
United States / 2021 / 109′
As the eye Such the object. This quote by William Blake opens the door to the world of interpretations of All light everywhere. This film by the American director Theo Anthony displays the mechanisms of power used by the invisible. The associative capacity of the director in this documentary essay allows him to land the aerial perspective of a movie focused on control of freedom and questions the development of portable technologies for image capturing, developments that are currently a business model in security companies. The director intelligently asks about ’the eyes of God’ watching over the forgotten Baltimore and is looking to highlight a concrete material reality of what power is assembling every minute in the most hermetic corners of our world. That which allows the plain light that we can be seen with to keep watching on us, all the time, everywhere.
