From protest movements, to abandoned warehouse raves, to a firm feature of British identity – Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller depicts how rave culture transcended otherwise impregnable boundaries of class, identity and geography.

PLAY TRAILERBeyond the Screen
Kyle Angel Leeson and Kai Hassan will join us after the screening to discuss how we can celebrate contemporary club culture while commemorating pioneers, and how we can demonstrate the lessons learned within these communities as we move towards a more radical future.
Before the screening, (13:00-15:00) Kyalo Searle-Mbullu will lead a workshop of synthesised sound-making for 16-25 year olds, offering an introduction to the medium which encourages playfulness and aims to instil a sense of agency through music-making – please book this separately HERE.
This event is hosted in partnership with the National Gallery as part of the public programme for The Triumph of Art, a nationwide project by artist Jeremy Deller. The project has been commissioned by the National Gallery, London, as part of NG200, its Bicentenary celebrations and is being developed in partnership with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Mostyn Gallery in Llandudno, The Box in Plymouth and The Playhouse in Derry-Londonderry.
Booking Information
To make our events more accessible, we operate a sliding scale ticket policy (thanks to SQIFF for leading the way). Choose what to pay based on your personal circumstances, from £0-10. All we ask is that you are honest with us so that we can continue offering this flexibility to those who need it most. When you pay a higher price for a ticket, you help subsidise a ticket for somebody on a lower income.
