Is there still hope for Rotterdam nightlife? We look back at 30 years of Rotterdam Rave Culture and look ahead with a brand-new documentary and its makers.
Sound designer, filmmaker and hardcore raver Dennis van Rijswijk and music journalist Holly Dicker, bring a documentary homage to the dance scene in Rotterdam during and since the 90s gabber boom. Filled with nostalgia-inducing archival materials and intimate interviews with DJs, party organisers and ravers alike, the film takes a deep dive in what made the Rotterdam scene so unique. While celebrating the highlights of hardcore’s infamous history, this passionate film also explores how the scene has progressed and reshaped itself in a post-pandemic cultural landscape.
Before and after the film we will talk with Holly Dicker and Dennis van Rijswijk.
Spoken Languages: English and Dutch (with English Subtitles)
