Free Party: A Folk History | DOKUMENTALE 2024

In the organizer's words:

Free Party: A Folk History
Aaron Trinder / Great Britain / 2023 / 107 min / German premiere

Director Aaron Trinder takes us back to the birth of the Free Party movement in England in the 80s and 90s. Far away from commerce and official venues, the movement organized wild outdoor parties. They demanded the right to party where, when and how they wanted, making them a target for the police. In a time before digital surveillance, they managed to organize Castlemorton, the largest illegal festival in England. The movement inspired other people around the world to organize not only parties but also protests.

Free Party: A Folk History
Aaron Trinder / United Kingdom / 2023 / 107 min. / German Premiere

Director Aaron Trinder takes us back to the beginnings of the Free Party movement in England during the 1980s and 1990s. Far off from commercialization and official venues, the movement threw wild outdoor parties. Its members demanded the right to celebrate wherever, whenever, and however they wanted-and became police targets. In an era before digital surveillance, they managed to put on Castlemorton, the largest illegal festival in England, inspiring people around the world to not only organize parties but also stage protests.
