THE GLOBAL GROOVE NETWORK FROM THE DANCE FLOOR TO THE BIG SCREEN
In DJ Mag Canada 003, we featured an interview with documentary filmmaker Courtney James, who had just completed his film ‘Global Groove Network.’ The film documents the circular relationship which exists within the electronic dance music’s community. The film covers all involved in the community, from the ravers, to the DJs, the producers to the club owners and the way each individual influences the other. The film was released following its Kickstarter campaign which was a fundraising effort done by the film maker in hopes of helping the movie reach a larger audience and assist with sharing the vision that is the Global Groove Network.
The Kickstarter Campaign was a success and it is with great excitement we announce that the film has been picked up by Toronto’s annual music, arts and film festival, NXNE. Global Groove Network will be premiering at Canada’s leading arts festival on June 15th at the Hot Doc’s Cinema on Bloor Street. The film’s premier will be an opportunity to showcase all that the global groove network represents, featuring a live DJ performance and photo presentation at the theatre before the film begins. The inclusion of this film into the festival represents the phenomenal growth that has occurred within electronic music over the past few years. Previously showcasing mainly indie rock, hip hop, art installations and films, NXNE festival has widened its horizons as of late. This will be the first film based solely on the electronic music scene to appear at the festival. With the amount of focus on the Toronto scene itself, the premier of Global Groove Network is a great addition. Make sure to check out the films premier among many of the other great acts and films which will be occurring during the annual NXNE running from June 10-16th across the city of Toronto.
Where: Hot Docs Cinema, 506 Bloor St West. Toronto When: June 15th 9pm Tickets:
