SUMMARY:Sounds In Cinema: We Want The Funk!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for curated documentary screenings that explore the intersection of African American music and cinema\, featuring authentic industry conversations and special guest appearances. Part of our First Free Wednesdays programming\, these screenings occasionally include live discussions with the artists\, producers\, and music professionals who created the stories we preserve. \nAbout the Documentary\nWE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music\, spanning from African\, soul\, and early jazz roots\, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown’s dynamism\, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic\, transformed girl group Labelle\, and Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat\, the story also traces funk’s influences on both new wave and hip-hop. \n  \n\nThe Filmmakers\n\n\n\n\n\nStanley Nelson is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker\, MacArthur Fellow\, and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
