Informed by an archeology of present-day media, Johan Grimonprez’s work depicts intimate stories that brush up against the bigger picture of globalization. Grimonprez’s feature films include Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y (1997), made in collaboration with novelist Don DeLillo, selected by the Guardian as one of the “30 great works in the history of video art”; Double Take (2009) made in collaboration with writer Tom McCarthy; and Shadow World (2016), made in collaboration with investigative journalist Andrew Feinstein. It premiered at the Tribeca Festival and won the Best Documentary Feature Award at the 2016 Edinburgh International Film Festival. Traveling the festival circuit from the Berlinale and Sundance to Tribeca, Grimonprez’s films have garnered several Best Director awards, the 2005 ZKM International Media Award, an Independent Spirit Award, and the 2009 Black Pearl Award at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. His films have been acquired by PBS, NBC Universal, ARTE, and BBC/FILM 4.
