“a joyful addition to the legacy of Ulster punk,
following landmark films like GOOD VIBRATIONS AND SHELLSHOCK ROCK.”

Gama Bomb – Survival Of The Fastest joins the legendary thrash band as they navigate the world beyond lockdowns in Northern Ireland, returning to the UK and Europe on a quest to perform for 10,000 people at Hellfest, ‘The Glastonbury of Metal’.

The films has its roots in the music video for Gama Bomb’s ‘Thunder Over London’, where director Kiran Acharya sensed a story and a film that ‘might amount to something more than another year of social media updates’.

Working intuitively with the band and shooting ‘with the cameras we had in our hands’, the film shows not only a world emerging from the shock and loss of lockdowns, but a global community of music fans that stretches from Belfast to Birmingham, from France to Tokyo.

Survival Of The Fastest takes us from the earliest glow of Northern Ireland’s Peace Process through Gama Bomb’s 20-year history to present-day Tokyo, Newry, London, Dublin, Belfast and beyond.

Filmed on tour, at home, and everywhere in between, Survival Of The Fastest also includes stops in Manchester, Leeds, Derry, Birmingham, Tilburg, Norwich, Emmen, Glasgow and Clisson, France.

The film opened alongside Irish Premieres for Blur: To The End and Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound, including director introduction, limited edition artwork, and Gama Bomb Q&A.

“The most northern irish film THAT HAS EVER EXISTED.”
