Desire: The Carl Craig Story + Q&A

Desire: The Carl Craig Story is an intimate portrait of legendary techno producer, DJ and record label creator Carl Craig and an ode to his beloved city, Detroit. Raised in a middle-class African-American family, Carl’s parents fostered his artistic pursuits, even if that meant breaking with his family’s tradition of pursuing higher education. With Detroit’s decline and recovery as a backdrop, the film follows the career of a musical pioneer whose genre-defying techno music – which was inspired by a wide range of sounds –has been performed to jazz enthusiasts at the Montreux Jazz Festival and in premier classical auditoriums around the world, including Carnegie Hall. But at the pinnacle of his creative and deejaying success, the musician faces challenges that could ultimately force him to stay away from the dance floor.

Join us with this special preview screening followed by an in-person Q&A with director Jean-Cosme Delaloye and Carl Craig.
