After 27 years, the groundbreaking documentary ‘Hang The DJ,’ which first presented DJs as artists and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1998, returns for a UK tour. A very rare chance to experience this influential film on the big screen while supporting worthy causes.
First time filmmakers and brothers Marco and Mauro La Villa travelled the world to meet the crowds whipped-up in clubs from Liverpool to Las Vegas, Madrid to Montreal and Paris to Tokyo. DJs including Dimitri, Cut Killer, Jellybean Benitez, Carl Cox, Junior Vasquez and Roger Sanchez chat scratching, being a role model for young people, the volatility of fame and fortune and how they keep their underground feel while working for Madonna and Janet Jackson. In all, an amazing, pumped-up, rhythmic leap into dance culture in the late ‘90s.
