‘Soundtrack To A Coup D’Etat’ Director Johan Grimonprez Named Guest Of Honor At 2024 International Documentary Festival Amsterdam
Belgian Filmmaker Johan Grimonprez, director of 'Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat,' has been named Guest of Honor at the upcoming IDFA doc festival.
“Grimonprez first gained international acclaim with his 1997 film dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y, which examined the history of airplane hijackings and the media’s role in shaping public perception,” IDFA noted in a release. Among confirmed titles is The Great Wall by Tadhg O’Sullivan, an essay film that maps the borders around Europe in light of the migration crisis, based on a short story by Franz Kafka. In Route 181, Fragments of a Journey in Palestine-Israel by Michel Khleifi and Eyal Sivan, the Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers travel along the 1967 partition lines that divided Palestine, exploring how people evoke the frontiers that separate them from their neighbors.
