The Hour of the Dog


THE HOUR OF THE DOG

Dir. John Akomfrah Prod. Smoking Dogs Films 2025 51min. UK

The Hour Of The Dog is an immersive six-channel video and sound installation exploring youth-led Civil Rights activism in the American South between 1954 and 1963. Using archival footage, oral histories, photography, newly filmed material, and a layered soundscape, the work reflects on memory, resistance, and the continuing legacy of nonviolent protest.

The installation was co-commissioned by the Baltimore Museum of Art.
