About
Tickets: Free | Please RSVP in Advance
WE 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.
Indie Lens Pop-Up is a community series that brings people together for film screenings and conversations. DMC will be working with local partners on programming for each film.
Join us for the after party from 6-8PM featuring DJ E-Knuf. Tickets for that are pay what you wish and available here.
