Description
WIZ’s groundbreaking 1992 short film Weekender, accompanied by Chloé Raunet’s new documentary featuring conversations with people involved in the project, alongside others it touched
Initially banned on its release, Weekender – the film of Flowered Up’s classic acid house cri de cœur – is today hailed as one of the most innovative music films ever made.
Now WIZ’s pioneering meditation on the British rave experience is celebrated in I Am Weekender, Chloé Raunet’s documentary about the film’s making, impact and legacy, with contributions from Irvine Welsh, Jeremy Deller, Lynne Ramsay, Bobby Gillespie, Clive Langer, Mark Moore, Róisín Murphy, Annie Nightingale, Shaun Ryder, David Holmes, Roy the Roach and more. Once described as ‘the Citizen Kane of acid house’, Weekender, the film that started it all, is also included here in a brand new 2K restoration.
‘Feels like a shot of the street’ Lou Reed
‘Without Weekender there’d be no Trainspotting’ Danny Boyle
‘Crazy, hedonistic, light and dark’ Lynne Ramsay
