Albertine French Film Festival: Soundtrack to a Coup d'État

Jazz and decolonization are entwined in this historical rollercoaster that rewrites the Cold War episode that led musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Patrice Lumumba.

This festival is supported by a grant from Albertine Cinémathèque, part of the French for All initiative by Villa Albertine–The French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation. It is made possible with the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC). All films will be introduced in English and shown with English subtitles.
