About the event

Film | We Want the Funk!

Join us for a screening of the 2025 documentary "We Want the Funk!"

Experience a syncopated voyage through funk music’s history from its African and jazz roots to James Brown’s early work and the rise of Parliament-Funkadelic.

This film explores how funk’s infectious grooves became a force of cultural resistance and self-determination. Loaded with rare footage, legendary performances, and in-depth interviews with funk pioneers. (2025; 80 min; Rating: Mature)
