Theo Anthony 2021

ALL LIGHT, EVERYWHERE examines the intertwined histories of cameras, weaponry, and policing, with Baltimore as its backdrop. Director Theo Anthony, also known for RAT FILM, uses police body cameras as a launch point to explore how photography and weaponry have evolved together—from 19th-century colonial photography to Axon’s body camera dominance today. Blending verité, performance, and archival research, Anthony delves into perception’s limitations and its weaponization. The film challenges authoritative uses of imagery, inviting viewers on a journey toward truth, questioning the power—and potential—of the photographic image.
