A film by Thomas Riedelsheimer. In English and German with German and English subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Light is a fasci­na­ting phe­no­me­non. Without light, the­re would be no cine­ma, no film – and no life. So light is at the ori­gin of ever­y­thing, and yet it remains invi­si­ble to the eye until it hits mat­ter. This moment is – quite lite­ral­ly – the start­ing point of Thomas Riedelsheimer’s latest work, for the spring­time spec­ta­cle of rain­bow shreds in the cine­ma­to­grapher and docu­men­ta­ry filmmaker’s flat beca­me the start­ing point of a search for the ori­gin of the images we form of this world. For this quest he dived deep into two sphe­res that seem to fol­low dif­fe­rent laws but always stri­ve to fathom the magi­cal: phy­sics and art.
An intellec­tu­al and poe­tic ping pong game evol­ves bet­ween rese­ar­chers from the Max Planck Institute in Erlangen and the “Extreme Light Group” of the University of Glasgow as well as inter­na­tio­nal­ly renow­ned artists such as Ruth Jarman, Joe Gerhardt, Julie Brook, Johannes Brunner and Raimund Ritz. In its cour­se, the various per­spec­ti­ves on light lead to new insights on all sides that would hard­ly have been achie­ved wit­hout this metho­di­cal cross-over: about laser power and colour pig­ments, about black holes and floa­ting sculp­tures. In brief moments, the unin­itia­ted may even get some idea of the laws of quan­tum phy­sics, gene­ral­ly con­side­red impos­si­ble to visualise.

Im anschlie­ßen­den Gespräch gehen die Sozialwissenschaftlerin und Historikerin Dr. Gisela Notz und die Zeithistorikerin Trille Schünke-Bettinger der Frage nach, wel­che Rolle die Frauen im Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus ein­ge­nom­men haben. Gemeinsam mit dem Publikum wird dis­ku­tiert, wie die Erinnerung an den Widerstand die­ser muti­gen Frauen* uns heu­te in den aktu­el­len Kämpfen gegen Faschismus, Rassismus und Antifeminismus hel­fen und unter­stüt­zen kann.

Zum Film: Andreas Dresen erzählt die Geschichte von Hilde Coppi, die in den 1940er Jahren aus Anstand und Menschlichkeit sich den Nationalsozialisten ent­ge­gen­stell­te. Gemeinsam mit gleich­ge­sinn­ten Freund*innen des Widerstandsnetzwerkes „Rote Kapelle“ ver­such­te sie die deut­sche Bevölkerung über den ver­bre­che­ri­schen Charakter des faschis­ti­schen Krieges auf­zu­klä­ren und Verfolgten zu hel­fen. Im Spätsommer 1942 wird das Netzwerk zer­schla­gen und auch Hilde Coppi wird ver­haf­tet. Sie ist zu die­sem Zeitpunkt hoch­schwan­ger. Am 27. November1942 kommt im Frauengefängnis Barnimstraße ihr Sohn Hans Coppi jun. zur Welt. Am 5. August 1943 wird Hilde Coppi, gemein­sam mit zwölf wei­te­ren Frauen der „Roten Kapelle“ in Plötzensee hingerichtet.

Artist Johan Grimonprez’s new film essay stems from detail­ed rese­arch about some of the machi­na­ti­ons the Western colo­ni­al powers, such as his nati­ve Belgium or the US, came up with to under­mi­ne the African deco­lo­niza­ti­on move­ment. It spe­ci­fi­cal­ly reex­ami­nes the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire) and its strugg­le for inde­pen­dence in the con­text of the CIA’s histo­ry of arts patro­na­ge, tel­ling how the US Foreign Intelligence agen­cy sent Louis Armstrong as a jazz ambassa­dor to dis­tract from their invol­vement in the ass­as­si­na­ti­on of new­ly elec­ted Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. Nina Simone was sent on a simi­lar tour of Nigeria by a CIA front orga­niza­ti­on, yet other jazz gre­ats got invol­ved less unwit­tingly. Dizzy Gillespie brief­ly ran for pre­si­dent in 1964 and pro­mi­sed that the White House would be ren­a­med the Blues House, while Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach cra­s­hed the UN Security Council to pro­test Lumumba’s ass­as­si­na­ti­on. Both a his­to­ri­cal pam­phlet and a swin­ging musi­cal com­po­si­ti­on, SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT unfolds like a record’s exten­si­ve slee­ve notes, as the jazz sounds pro­pel and car­ry along facts, figu­res and foot­no­tes of major and minor his­to­ries with them at diz­zy­ing speed.
