A MORNING WITH JOHAN GRIMONPREZ

09:30 - 11:00 Onsdag 20. marts 2024 / 90 min

JOHAN GRIMONPREZ excels at directing film essays bringing together key historical moments and cultural elements. Grimonprez, who reached international acclaim with Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y (1997), tracing the history of airplane hijacking as portrayed by mainstream television media – Double Take (2009) exploring the Cold War and the films of Alfred Hitchcock, or Shadow World (2016), comes back with a timely story in Soundtrack to a Coup d’État (2024), winner of the Special Jury Award for Cinematic Innovation at Sundance, and now screening at CPH:DOX. In his new film, he explores relations between african american jazz music, civil rights and decolonization, still speaking to today’s geopolitical terrain for Belgium and Congo; where jazz musicians work as a soundtrack to the archives and testimonies revealing the CIA covert operations to assassinate Congo’s prime minister, Patric Lumumba.
