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.

Inventing Reality
In INVENTING REALITY, astrophysicist Matt O'Dowd leads audiences on a quest for fundamental reality. Guided by the most rigorous science and the latest evidence, viewers travel to the edge of physics where our intuitions about space and time dissolve, and reality looks nothing like the world of their experience. Ultimately, the film is a celebration of humanity’s incredible progress in science, and is a call to unite on the cusp of a new scientific era.
