Description de l'événement
Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat | 2024 | Belgium / France / Netherlands | Documentary
Director: Johan Grimonprez
With: Patrice Lumumba, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie,
Dur: 150 minutes
In French, English, and Russian with English subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías
A compelling documentary that delves into the intricate connections between jazz music, Cold War politics, and the decolonization of Africa. The film centers on the 1961 assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba and the involvement of American jazz musicians, such as Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie, who were sent as cultural ambassadors to Africa during this tumultuous period.
Utilizing a rich tapestry of archival footage, musical performances, and historical texts, Grimonprez crafts a narrative that mirrors the improvisational nature of jazz itself. The documentary highlights how these musicians, sometimes unwittingly, became part of a larger geopolitical strategy, intertwining their art with the political machinations of the time.
The film offers a riveting examination of the intersection between culture and politics, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history where music and power collided on the global stage.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Brad Rockwell.
