Electronic Body Music is the dance floor evolution of Industrial music, with deep roots in Post Punk and Neue Deutsche Welle.

It all started in Germany and Belgium in the early 1980s, when seminal bands such as Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, Front 242, and Liaisons Dangereuses laid the foundations for this new music style, marked by thumping beats, aggressive vocals, and sequenced synth bass lines.

Adrenaline-filled live shows, controversial lyrics, and provocative looks shocked the music press and fueled the audience’s imagination, leaving a burning mark on the hearts and minds of their followers.

Four decades later, Electronic Body Music is regarded as a vital precursor to Techno and modern clubbing music. A wide and devoted fan community from all around the globe keeps its cult alive, organizing regular festivals and dedicated events.

On Saturday November 23rd at 19:00, the film will be followed by a Q&A with director Pietro Anton.
