Film Screening: Babylon

A landmark of Black British cinema, Babylon (1980) follows the story of Blue, a young reggae DJ navigating the pressures of racism, policing and everyday survival in South London.

Directed by Franco Rosso and featuring a legendary soundtrack led by Dennis Bovell, the film captures the tension, creativity and cultural power of the Sound System scene at a pivotal moment in UK history.

Raw, urgent and still strikingly relevant, Babylon remains a defining portrait of resistance and community.
