Beyond The Screen - Human Traffic

Twenty-six years after its release, Human Traffic remains one of the defining films of British youth culture. Justin Kerrigan's cult classic captures a generation searching for freedom, friendship and escape through music, clubbing and weekends that seemed to last forever.

Set against the backdrop of Cardiff's nightlife scene, the film follows a group of friends navigating work, relationships and the anticipation of the next big night out. Funny, chaotic and unexpectedly heartfelt, Human Traffic became an instant cult favourite and remains one of the most authentic portrayals of UK club culture ever put on screen.

Following the screening, Roseberry Road Studios will stay open for a club night inspired by the sounds of the era. Expect house, trance, drum & bass, garage and dancefloor classics from the late 1990s and early 2000s, celebrating the music that shaped a generation.

A film about friendship, freedom and finding your people. Then a chance to dance.

This event is part of BFI’s Rip It Up season which explores and celebrates the changing face of youth rebellion, culture and expression – from joy to heartbreak – on screen in the UK.
