Documentary
The Black Audio Film Collectiveās seventh film envisioned the death and life of the African American revolutionary as a seven part study in iconography as narrated by novelist Toni Cade Bambara and actor Giancarlo Espesito. The stylized tableaux vivants that memorialise Malcolmās life referenced the early 20th century funeral photography of James Van der Zeeās The Harlem Book of the Dead and the elemental static cinematography of Sergei Paradjanovās The Colour of Pomegranates.
