2025 Oscar Nominated Film at OKCMOA: Soundtrack to a Coup d'État

2025 Oscar Nominated Film at OKCMOA:
Soundtrack to a Coup d'État

  • A Sundance award winner and 2025 Oscar nominee, Johan Grimonprez’s kinetic, urgent documentary delivers the politics of decolonization in jazz form, replete with virtuosic archival riffs, historical text in the form of Blue Note album covers, and musical performances by jazz legends (Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone), who, in the ‘60s, doubled as cultural ambassadors to Africa.

  • Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster. Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today’s geopolitical climate.

  • A 2025 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature

  • In Dutch, Russian, French and Arabic with English subtitles | 150 minutes
