Join WXXI for a special FREE screening of We Want the Funk, a film by directed by Stanley Nelson, followed by a panel discussion.
About the Film:
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 presents this free screening:
On Monday, March 31 at 6:30-8:30 p.m.
At The Little Theatre, Theatre 5
240 East Avenue, Rochester, NY
Panelists to be announced soon.
