Thank you to everyone who came — it was such a joy to see so many of you who’ve been part, in one way or another, of Doc’n Roll, all gathered in such a stunning setting (shoutout to !).

We just marked 12 years of Doc’n Roll and over 5000 documentary screenings around the world. We’ve come a long way from our beginnings in Hackney Picturehouse — but the mission’s still the same: championing music subcultures, independent voices, DIY spirit. And we like to think we’ve built a community that really cares.

Massive thanks to friends , , and Beth Soan for soundtracking the evening. To for her soul-stirring, intimate set. And to the one and only .birch for premiering “Causing Trouble Again”, co-directed with — a fierce, joy-fuelled feminist manifesto featuring a brilliant cast of women artists and agitators who stir s**t up and make space for others to do the same.

Thank you for sticking with us — the best trouble’s yet to come.

THE SCIENCE OF GHOSTS: ADRIAN CROWLEY | 5 JUNE

What if a documentary refused to explain its subject — and let him haunt the story instead?

The Science of Ghosts — an offbeat, poetic portrait of Irish singer-songwriter Adrian Crowley () — lands in London for its UK premiere, blurring the line between memory, myth, and music. Directed by Niall McCann (.niall), this one-of-a-kind film drifts through imagined pasts and surreal encounters, with appearances by Radie Peat (), Brigid Mae Power (), Kevin Barry, and more.

🎙️ After the screening: a live Q&A and an intimate solo performance by Adrian Crowley.
