ISIS AND OSIRIS (2024)

Directed by Ephraim Asili

Cinematography by Hil Steadman

Starring Brandee Younger

Shown at The MoMA + Hammer Museum

In his film Isis and Osiris (2024), filmmaker Ephraim Asili reimagines Alice Coltrane's initial encounters with the harp, a gift from her husband that was not delivered to her until shortly after his passing. Starring contemporary harpist Brandee Younger and Coltrane's original harp which was recently restored, this piece serves as a meditation on Coltrane's connection with the instrument, both as a music-making tool and as a link to her late husband, John Coltrane.
