Jonathan Reiss: Better Living Through
Circuitry Label:
Seventh Art Releasing
"BETTER LIVING THROUGH CIRCUITRY is a rare insightful
look at the electronic dance community and the culture it has
produced. A cross-section of the techno subculture is represented as
ravers, DJ's and musicians speak for themselves about their music
and ideals. Insightful and entertaining, the film presents such
dynamic aspects of rave culture as empowerment through technology,
the DIY ethic, and the flowering of a new spirituality embracing
transcendence through sound and rhythm." Featuring such artists as
DJ Spooky, DJ Keoki, Roni Size, The Crystal Method, Electric
Skychurch and Moby, the film premieres in New York City on May 26th
at Cinema Village. Check out the website at
