GDIF is turning 25! 

The festival will open in Woolwich Town Centre with the UK première of a new production by French performance company Gratte Ciel, featuring a gigantic suspended dreamcatcher, aerial performance, 360-degree pyrotechnics and the words and contributions of Woolwich-based community and cultural groups, curated by Booker Prize winner and Woolwich Laureate Bernardine Evaristo and poet and founder of RevolYOUtion London,  Rasheeda Page-Muir.

Supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, GDIF’s Opening Night, entitled Woolwich Rising, will take place on 28 August in General Gordon Square.
