The Story of the Orlando Nightlife Curfew

In 1997, the city of Orlando, Florida passed a late night curfew forcing bars and clubs to close their doors at 3:00 AM. Called the "rave ordinance", the Orlando city council was determined to extinguish the flourishing DJ scene and late night community because of the poor reputation they believed it gave the city. Filmmaker Luiz Fernando Schultz documents this historical local debate, as well as the city's thriving house music culture through the eyes of Remark – a prominent Orlando DJ known for his uplifting club gigs, popular dance music radio show, and dedicated work at Underground Record Source. Experience the Orlando club scene at its peak during the 1990s and the magic that made it special...before it was effectively dismantled by local politicians.
