Johan Grimonprez, a filmmaker known for spending years and years researching projects and making wondrous use of archival material, graces the cover on the worldwide release of his latest, Soundtrack to a Coup d’État. The cover feature is an extended conversation between Grimonprez and film writer Öykü Sofuoğlu. In a special dossier, four articles in this issue address how policy could help documentary filmmakers—and address just the smallest bit of all of the possibilities. Articles featured in the print version will be published online between March–June 2025.

Untitled Arlene Carmen Documentary
Arlene Carmen was the Jewish administrator of Judson Memorial Church in NYC, starting in 1967. With Rev. Howard Moody she created the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion which connected women to safe abortion care prior to Roe Wade; distributed illegal treatments to AIDS patients; and worked to decriminalize prostitution. Everything Arlene and Howard did was grounded in the principles of dignity, self determination and shared humanity. Much of it was illegal.
