W : A Return to Oz (2025)

Daniel Howard-Baker · 35 min · Letterboxd ↗

Witness the rise and fall of The Warehouse, a rave venue from Plymouth and times gone by now reduced to a derelict shell. We explore its history, its people and the future. An amateur filmmaker-explorer finds the building in an empty derelict state, long after the prosperous life and energy it endured through the 90s. Through a combination of archives and stories of people who lived there, the film explores through the medium of analogue what once was and how even a now silent derelict shell can become the centre of the universe.

W : A Return to Oz screens once in London: The Cinema Museum, Wednesday 23 September at 19:30.
