SIFF’s DocFest, a celebration of all films documentary, with stories of people you know, stories that will floor you, and stories that will make you look outside yourself. Moving from the thought provoking to the tenacious, with stops at tearful and tense, DocFest returns with our celebration of documentary films from around the world. Attend in-person; there will also be limited streaming options.

As part of DocFest, KNKX's Abe Beeson hosts a screening of the new documentary, Hargrove on October 11 at 7 p.m. Abe will talk with the film's director, Eliane Henri, after the screening. Widely considered the best trumpet player of his generation, jazz legend Roy Hargrove galvanized audiences with his incisive playing and virtuosity. A charismatic and combustible performer, rumors of his precocious talent began to spread while he was still a teenager, and soon he began to ascend the ranks of jazz royalty, leading combos of every size, while also collaborating with everyone from Christian McBride to Herbie Hancock to Sonny Rollins. Not content to only reinvigorate jazz, Hargrove also was an indispensable presence in the Neo-soul movement, collaborating with Hip Hop and R&B trailblazers including Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and The Roots. Capturing Hargrove in surprisingly unguarded moments—from giddy shopping excursions to heated arguments to transfixing hotel room improvisations—director Henri interlaces them with revealing archival footage and candid interviews with his many admirers and collaborators who collectively reflect back on both Roy's career and the challenges of being a Black jazz artist in America.
