The Raindance Film Festival Is Coming Soon

Raindance Festival, if you weren't already aware, isn't that MDMA casualty of a 90s rave clubnight, but a film festival that's been breaking the best in independent cinema to the people of London ever since 1993 (presumably when the rave went out of business so there'd be no litigation over the name). The festival has hosted the UK premieres of Pulp Fiction, Memento and Ghost World, among plenty more of your favourite movies (reeling off a list of every single iconic, groundbreaking film they've ever launched seems a bit vulgar), which might give you some idea of the calibre they're working at.

The festival is running from the 26th September to the 7th October this year and VICE are premiering three brand new films, all on Thursday, 27th September. First, at 6.30PM, two documentaries: Caribbean Fashion Week, the next releasefrom our Fashion Week Internationale series,and The British Wrestler, a look at the machismo sodden and occasionally depressing world of UK underground wrestling.

Then, at 8PM, The Fouth Dimension, a triptych – each part directed by Harmony Korine, Alexey Fedorchenko and Jan Kwiecinski, respectively – and largely-improvised mindfuck of a film, featuring time machines and Val Kilmer on a BMX, giving a motivational speech to some topless people in a car park. Trust me, you don't want to miss that on the big screen.
