(Johan Grimonprez, 2003, BE)

An art film and documentary by Belgian artist Johan Grimonprez that proved to be prophetic: right before the events of 9/11 Grimonprez painted this exhaustive and profound history of airplane-hijackings. The film exists of bits of news, science-fiction film and home video, and is kept together by a wry voiceover that quotes, amongst others, passages from Don DeLillo’s White Noise and Mao II. The film provides excellent insight into the situation that led to 9/11 and is still very influential on our political landscape. Especially interesting, and still very relevant, is the role of the media in the very public activity of a hijacking
