Do You Own The Dancefloor?

Documentary about Manchester's iconic Hacienda nightclub and the resulting sell-off of its property and continuation of its legacy.

"In November 2000, many of the key elements from the iconic venue ended up as 69 lots at a charity auction before it was demolished to make way for a block of apartments. It resulted in parts of the nightclub - the epicenter of Manchester's pop culture in the 1980s and 1990s - being scattered across the world. As well as the auction, the film tracks down what happened to the parts of the club itself, whose famous industrial design by interiors guru Ben Kelly included motorway cat's eyes, traffic bollards and hazard signs. The interviewees include Hacienda DJs Graeme Park and Mike Pickering, Liam Gallagher of Oasis and Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order."
