Raving Iran

The Raving Iran film exposes the persecution faced by two Iranian DJs in their home country. With a film screening followed by a Q&A session, this whole evening promises to be fascinating.

We are honoured and excited to announce the screening of RAVING IRAN, a documentary that lifts the lid on Tehran’s underground electronic music scene and follows the life of DJ’s Anoosh and Arash (Blade & Beard).

This is a CHARITY event, all proceeds will go to:

1. Amnesty International's #freeartists campaign

2. Crisis - the national charity for homeless people

Resident Advisor will donate 50% of the booking fee to the above charities
