For over thirty years the London EXPLODING CINEMA COLLECTIVE has been staging volunteer run, open access film happenings….Yet we’ve been consistently dismissed and ignored by the ART establishment. So now we need your help to set the record straight. True to the D.I.Y. spirit of underground cinema we want to publish our own history.

Using archive photos, artwork, posters, propaganda and eye witness testimony, BOOM! charts the emergence of the collective from the art squats of Brixton to international infamy, from the analogue machines of the nineties to the contemporary digital online cinema. And although the key focus is the Exploding Cinema, this is also a history of the broader London underground movement and includes material from MyEyesMyEyes, Omsk, the Halloween Society, Undercurrents, the Volcano!Film Festival, Kaos filmmgruppe and many others.

We need to raise at least £10.000 for the print run…but all we're really asking for is pre-orders. However, for those who want to contribute more, we have signed copies, original posters and booklets, limited edition DVDs and tickets to the spectacular launch party.
