Additionally, there will be a conversation with techno pioneers Kevin Saunderson and Blake Baxter, moderated by Shaka Senghor, timed to the world premiere of God Said Give ’Em Drum Machines—a new music documentary about the beginnings of Techno Music in Detroit.
There are a number of music-related films premiering at this year’s festival, including documentaries on Leonard Cohen, T-Rex’s Marc Bolan, and more.
