Black-and-white photography ceased to be the cinematic standard in most of the world sometime during the 1960s, but filmmakers have been periodically rediscovering the charms of monochrome cinematography ever since. On the occasion of Kino Lorber’s 10th anniversary re-release of Andrew Bujalski’s lo-fi video-shot comedy Computer Chess, we’re showcasing the surprising mini-boom in black and white that occurred around the time of its release, screening grayscale greats from Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha), Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night), Alexander Payne (Nebraska), Paweł Pawlikowski (Ida), and other film artists who helped audiences appreciate the austere and sensual pleasures of black and white.
