Rave Against the Machine

"Inspiringly beautiful low budget documentary on the club scene in Bosnia during the war. All shot on miniDVCAM and edited in Final Cut Pro 3. Brilliantly paced and both touching and funny." itsallelectric.com is also a great site for young film makers.

One of the few things I regret in my life was not going to Bosnia with Desert Storm, a hardcore group of ravers, that used to put parties on at the frontline during the Bosnian war. It's hard to imagine shooting someone you were raving with the night before, and it was amazing how many soldiers had left their posts the next day.

"James describes the events of the evening: "We started playing on the move and we had thousands of people following us through the streets in two foot snow and minus ten degrees. We played one techno record with a chorus that went 'Get going to the beat of a Drum BANG!' and all the soldiers fired their AK-47's in the air 'kakakakaka' and it was such a fucking buzz it was incredible. We played the same record about ten times. At one point a policeman came up to tell us to turn the volume up , but to turn off some of our lights as we were attracting shellfire. The frontline was only ten kilometres away."

Respect.
