Documentary Festival IDFA to Fete Belgian Artist, Filmmaker Johan Grimonprez
Belgian artist and filmmaker Johan Grimonprez, whose "Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat" won an award at Sundance, will be the guest of honor at IDFA.
Among confirmed titles in this section 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.” “By reflecting on how documentary filmmakers approach these simple yet complex territorial perimeters, the program will invite the audiences and artists to engage in meaningful discussion and nurture critical awareness,” the festival said.
