Have you got a black eyeliner pencil sitting in your room? Are you intimately familiar with the process of removing days worth of Schwarzkopf Got2B Glued from your hair? Do you consider yourself Not Okay? Then come along to Let’s Go Emo! 

A cross platform programme exploring how young people use digital media to express identity, creativity and community, Lets’s Go Emo! combines early YouTube videos, contemporary TikToks and Reels, and British short films reflecting on youth culture with an early 00s focus. 

The programme will also include a collaboratively produced zine featuring commissioned writing from young contemporary emo fans and content creators, alongside a badge-making workshop, hosted by Badge Cafe.

The event is part of BFI FAN’s Rip it Up programme supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London, proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by the National Lottery.
