A showcase for the life and career of DJ, music producer and trip hop mogul, James Lavelle, the documentary promises a lively trip behind the curtain as it explores Lavelle’s work as founder of pioneering record label Mo’Wax and his rise to fame as a member of musical outfit, UNKLE.

The screening will be accompanied by a Pitchblack Playback of an exclusive mix from UNKLE’s forthcoming album and a live Q&A with Lavelle, streamed from the BFI in London.
