A community. A youth movement. A way of life. Rave is much more than a night out.Rotterdam made its mark on the world in the 90s with its hardcore rave culture and hardlinedapproach to partying. Three decades later, Rotterdam is still raving – but the cityscape, therecord industry, and the way we interact as a society have all changed dramatically. This is astory of individuals coming together on the dancefloor and losing themselves in the strobelight, and a city that finds its strength in the battle, and will make it happen – no matter what.

The screening will feature an introduction by producer Holly Dicker, who will also speak about her book 'Dance or Die'. After the film there is a Q&A with Holly and director Dennis van Rijswijk, João Ervedosa (Disco Paraíso) and Maria Guedes.

Afterwards at 21:15 the documentary 'Paraíso' will be screened, about the Portugese rave culture in the nineties. Tickets are available separately for this event.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
