Wild, frightening, and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. Yet, in Bloodlight and Bami, directed by Sophie Fiennes, we also discover her as a lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask. It is one of those films that feeds our desire to know more about the artist as a human being, not just a performer.
The film features live performances from her sensational shows filmed in the Olympia last year. It will be screened at the Lighthouse Cinema and the IFI. Check out the trailer below:
