I wanted to write about this earlier but er lost the email from the Head of Press so it's a bit close to the wire, but there's lots of films you might like if you are reading this at the Doc'n Roll Film Festival.

First up - Move Ya Body - The Birth of House

A celebration of the new sound that emerged from the underground clubs of Chicago’s South Side, which sparked a global movement of joy, freedom and radical togetherness.

Just as disco was collapsing amidst a fiery backlash, young Chicagoan Vince Lawrence embarked on a journey that would change music history. From his father’s record store to the underground clubs of the South Side, Vince and a group of visionary friends
experimented with drum machines and synthesizers, crafting a revolutionary new sound: house music. Elegance Bratton’s joyous film is an electrifying tribute to the pioneers who turned a local scene into a worldwide phenomenon. With rare archival footage and vibrant interviews, the film chronicles how house music transcended genre trappings to become a movement of liberation, unity and pure, undiluted bliss.

It's the London premier and it's screening at 06 November 2025 at 18:15 at the BFI. Tickets available HERE.

There's a film on Arthur Baker, a doc about Lee Burridge and more to get stuck into. I went to the festival when I was in London a while back and it was good so it comes recommended. Head to their website HERE to get all the info on whats screening. There's also a programme on the short films of Coil which would be well worth a visit. Check the trailer below and more info HERE. Nice.
