EDM On The Big Screen

If your into the EDM scene, chances are you might have looked into rave or EDM type movies. Since Electric Visions likes to follow and post about EDM in film and videos, whether it be fictional, documentaries or event trailers, we thought it would be nice to put together a short list of our favorite films that involve the scene. Starting off in the year 1999 with ‘Human Traffic’ and ending in 2011 with the upcoming film ‘Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy’, we have a little over 10 years of films for you to check out.
