Dreaming of You follows the story of six childhood outsiders from Merseyside, as they transform into one of the most influential British guitar bands of the new millennium, their high-energy blend of psychedelic rock 'n' roll revitalising the doldrums of the post-Britpop music scene.

Narrated by the band, the film is an immersive experience that creatively combines reconstruction, archive footage, and animation to capture the early 2000s era through the eyes of six northern teenagers, who together created their own strange, endlessly creative escapist universe. 

As the friends leave their sleepy hometown of Hoylake in pursuit of musical glory, the spotlight eventually finds them. But is it fame they’re after or it just being together?

Followed by a Q&A with the director James Slater, and Nick Power and James Skelly from The Coral.
