Everybody in the place, make some noise. LSFF throws it back in the ICA Theatre to the heyday of 90s club culture with a selection of short films from that iconic era, mixed with contemporary works that evoke the same free spirit and good vibes. 

A chance to see Mark Leckey's seminal doc Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore, Orbital x Tilda Swinton in music video The Box, and Louise Stevens's Baby Girl as she takes to the streets of 1996 Amsterdam. Arjuna Neuman takes us on a journey into the woods, exploring the relationship between the English landscape and illegal raves in 2022's Syncopated Green, via Belgian party culture and psychedelic freakouts in Une Vie A Partager and The Mobius Trip.

Artist and filmmaker duo Julian Hand & Heena Song will fill the theatre space with analogue visuals akin to those found in early warehouse raves, plus DJ sets by special guests TBC. See you front left.
