Watch the Trailer for New Grace Jones Documentary, “BLOODLIGHT AND BAMI”

 

Director Sophie Fiennes has released  a new trailer for her Grace Jones documentary, “Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami.” The film, which was created out of a decade’s worth of footage, and will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. 

The documentary will chronicle Jones’ life and work with some of her closest collaborators. They span across the fields of music, art, fashion, and film.

In an interview with The Independent earlier this month, Fiennes opened up about working with the New Wave icon.

“This film began in a collaborative creative spirit,” she said. “Grace had fiercely controlled her public image but made the bold decision to unmask. She never sought to control my shooting process, and I didn’t second-guess the narrative of the film as I was shooting. I just gathered evidence.”

In addition, Fiennes said, “For me, this is the thrill-ride of verité cinema,” she said.

The film will be released to the general public on October 27, and you can watch the trailer below.
