On episode 53 of Doc Talk, Belgian filmmaker Johan Grimonprez joined the show to discuss his award-winning documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat. The film explores how the U.S. and Belgium conspired to force Lumumba from power, with the complicity of the UN secretary general. Even as the plot moved towards a bloody denouement, the U.S. State Department was dispatching some of America’s great Black jazz artists to Africa in the role of goodwill ambassadors, attempting to paper over its machinations in Congo. Grimonprez explains how he managed to deftly synthesize so much complex world history, setting it to the beat of Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Lincoln and Roach. The film has emerged as a leading Oscar contender after winning awards at film festivals around the world.

@christianyelich was in our house recently recording Thanalysis Episode #60. See the link in the bio for the podcast.

On last week’s episode of Doc Talk, Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald joined the podcast at SFFILM to discuss his latest film One to One: John & Yoko. The film captures John and Yoko’s relationship in an interesting light, as well as protests over the Vietnam War, political conflict over the emerging women’s rights and gay rights movements, and a sense that the feeling of endless possibility unleashed in the 1960s was quickly dissipating. Director Robinson Devor and producer Jason Reid also joined the show to discuss their documentary set in the turbulent early ‘70s, Suburban Fury. The central figure in the film is Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assassinate then-President Gerald Ford in San Francisco in 1975. How did she go from an apparently “ordinary” suburban woman with Republican leanings to FBI informant, tangled up in the effort to track down kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst? The answers help untangle an entire era fraught with anxiety, desperation, and a paradoxically “idealistic” sense that a bullet, properly aimed, could change history.

Set in a dystopian 2021, Johnny (played by Keanu Reeves), is a data courier, literally carrying a data package inside his head, that he must deliver before he dies from the burden. After the screening, Longo and Academy Award-winning director John Ridley will talk about how the film’s 2021 rerelease enables a new examination of the film and connects to his current studio practice.

On last week’s episode of Doc Talk, we gathered at San Francisco Film Festival (@sffilm) offices for a conversation with Anne Lai, executive director of SFFILM, and the organization’s Director of Programming, Jessie Fairbanks, discussing the state of the documentary film industry as well as SFFILM and Doc Stories’ role supporting the field and the careers of established and emerging filmmakers. We also spoke with a product of SFFILM’s education programs, young filmmaker Jonah Mosshammer and fellow filmmaker Brennan McGee, directors of the short film Arepas en Bici, which premiered at Doc Stories. What is an arepa, you may ask? If you are Venezuelan you know already, but in the episode of Doc Talk we explore the savory dish, and the sumptuous film from Mosshammer and McGee.
