Free Party: A Folk History

Aaron Trinder
2023 | United Kingdom | 107 min

A comprehensive chronicle of the Free Party movement, which organised free open-air raves across England from the late 80s to the mid-90s. The “tribal union” of travellers, punks, hippies, and anarchists challenged both the police and land ownership laws to the extent that the government introduced specific legislation against this nomadic lifestyle. The former ravers from collectives such as DiY, Spiral Tribe, Sugarlump, Bedlam, or Circus Warp still light up with enthusiasm when recounting the epic parties and guerrilla tactics of that youthful, anti-capitalist mobilisation from the pre-internet era.

Starring: Chris Liberator, Charlie Hall, Colin Dale, Martin ‘Youth’ Glover, Harry Harrison, Sara Sender, Simone Trevelyen, Simon Marsh, Alan ‘Tash’ Lodge, Chilly Phil, Steve Bedlam, Debbie Griffith, Grace Sands, Jack Harlow, Phil Walker, Vinca Petersen, Olly Sugarlump
