Notes On Rave In Dublin is an upcoming documentary by James Redmond screening at the Audi Dublin International Film Festival on February 24th and 26th.
It looks at the burgeoning scene of rave taking hold in the early ’90s in Dublin. In the director’s own words:
Notes On Rave In Dublin is a roller coaster ride through the birth pangs of dance music in our dirty old town. From the democratic romance of those early loved up dancefloors to how a cold social stratification and commercialisation eventually crept in. Leaving it up to a network of outsider labels, pirates and ravers to establish an indigenous scene that we now call our own. This is a story of how an underground works, mutates and survives.
