Doc'n Roll Film Festival - Rave Culture: A New Era

About this event

Doc'n Roll Film Festival presents Rave Culture: A New Era, an examination of how music became a cultural force during the late 1980s. Against a backdrop of economic hardship and political upheaval, a generation discovered community and expression through underground dance music. This documentary explores the emergence of illegal raves in abandoned industrial spaces and rural locations, where thousands gathered for immersive experiences of sound and light. The film traces how these grassroots movements shaped British youth culture and left a lasting impact on electronic music and nightlife.

Screening Wednesday 15 April 2026 at 18:45 at Savoy Cinema.
