We Want The Funk!

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.

Feel Good Film Club screenings are introduced by Devon Daley and start promptly at the advertised time, with no adverts or trailers.
