Jak Hutchcraft · 2023 · 89’ · UK
Norman Cook is an electronic music legend, who shaped the late ’90s with numerous hits that helped launch a new genre: Big Beat, a groovy and ingenious blend of many years of British pop.
In 2002, because Fatboy Slim is a cool guy and a global superstar, he decided to throw a free party on the beach of his hometown, Brighton. They were expecting 40,000 ravers, but 250,000 showed up! This film explores this one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated event, the chaos and danger of such a massive rave, while capturing the hedonism of that generation.
