DESIRE: THE CARL CRAIG STORY Documentary | UK, Switzerland | Dir. by Jean-Cosme Delaloye | 90' Desire 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, Desire: The Carl Craig Story 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 the premier classical auditoriums around the world, including Carnegie Hall. Thirty-five years into his music career, Carl Craig, a leading figure of the second generation of the Detroit techno artists, has now been embraced by the visual arts world, with recent exhibitions at MOCA in Los Angeles and Dia Beacon in New York. 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. “Lyrical even without words” The Financial Times “Needs to be heard big and loud” Unseen Films “Nightclub genius” The ObserverDocumentaryPT1H31M2025-05-08Carl Craig
