Witness the rise and fall of The Warehouse, a rave venue from Plymouth and times gone by now reduced to a derelict shell. We explore its history, its people and the future. An amateur filmmaker-explorer finds the building in an empty derelict state, long after the prosperous life and energy it endured through the 90s. Through a combination of archives and stories of people who lived there, the film explores through the medium of analogue what once was and how even a now silent derelict shell can become the centre of the universe.
Come join us for the first screening of W : A Return to Oz in Plymouth before it sets off into film festivals across the country.
We are joined by the film's director & editor Daniel Howard-Baker and producer & post-producer Louis Holder, who will be in conversation about the film immediately after the screening has finished.
This will be followed by drinks, courtesy of the bar at Close-Up Cinema, and you're warmly invited to stick around.
All proceeds made in the event will go towards film festival and exhibition fees for future events.
Please note that we may have photography and filming at the event, please give us a message if you would like to be exempt from any photography or filming.
