In collaboration with m-nus and the Kino Babylon, CTM is proud to present an exclusive preview of the documetary "Making CONTAKT", followed by Q&A with Richie Hawtin and Ali Demirel.
In 2008, the Minus record label – operated by Richie Hawtin and home to artists such as Magda, Troy Pierce, Konrad Black, Marc Houle, Heartthrob and others – celebrated its ten year anniversary with CONTAKT – a free-flowing, improvisational show involving the label's top DJs and live performers backed up by state of the art visuals. This fly-on-the-wall documentary edited by Niamh Guckian (Totally Wired Movie) superbly documents the journey, offering a unique, behind the scenes look at what makes this crazy, passionate and highly focused group of individuals tick, as they attempt to redefine the conventional clubbing experience.
Interspersed with a running commentary from the artists, friends and backroom staff who made the event possible, it's a warts & all appraisal of the highs, lows, triumphs and near catastrophes that accompanied the tour, revealing exactly what it takes to get a performance of this magnitude on the road and keep the electronic movement pushing forward. The film will be relased on DVD on February 26th, 2010.
