East City Films’ VR rave experience In Pursuit Of Repetitive Beats transports you back in time to the late-80s UK clubbing scene.

07/07/2025

On the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, we’re revisiting Witness 360: 7/7 - one of the UK’s first immersive VR documentaries. This powerful piece centres on the voice of survivor Jacqui Putnam, guiding viewers through the events of that day.

We’ve made the experience available again for a short time. Please watch, reflect, and share.

We're proud to be part of the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo 2025, where we are presenting our three powerful VR films created with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. This collaboration aims to preserve and share Holocaust testimony in a format that speaks to new generations through immersive storytelling.

This morning, our own Darren spoke on the role of virtual reality in memory preservation - an inspiring talk to reflect on how technology can honour the past while educating the future.

No suits. No rules. Just beats.
1989. Acid House ain’t just music - it’s a movement. Warehouses, gyms, underpasses - anywhere the bass could shake the ground and the crowd could lose themselves.

In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats throws you straight into that first wave energy. No nostalgia trip - this is VR that hits like the first drop of the night.

22 May – 3 Aug
Barbican Centre, London
