The Cycles of The Mental Machine
A film by Jacqueline Caux
With live music by Jeff Mills
Editor: Dora Soltani
Cinematographer: Patrick Ghiringhelli
Sound artist: Pascal Humbert
Co-produced by Jacqueline Caux, Centre Pompidou and Festival d’Automne à Paris

The film is a journey into Detroit’s musical heritage, from blues and gospels – brought by thousands of black workers who made the wealth of this industrial city – to the popular hits of Tamla Motown and the techno music outburst.  Legendary “Electrifying Mojo”, “Mad” Mike Banks of “Underground Resistance” and techno star Carl Craig guide the viewer through the film, while virtuosic DJ Jeff Mills provides live accompaniment.
