Upside Down: The Creation Records Story

Synopsis

Millions of sales on both sides of the Atlantic, near bankruptcy, pills, thrills, spats, prats, success, excess, pick-me-ups, breakdowns and of course some of THE dening music of the late twentieth century.

This is the definitive and fully authorised story of the UK's most inspired and dissolute label. Twenty-five years after its first proper release and ten years after it closed its doors we tell the Creation Records story, from the Jesus and Mary Chain at the Living Room to Oasis at Knebworth.

A boy braiding a horse's mane. Riding Time

Director: Roopa Gogineni, Farhaan Mumtaz

Year: 2025

Neza bazi, an ancient South Asian cavalry sport adopted by British colonial officers, has two distinct scenes in today’s UK. There is the national team (posh, tweed-wearing) and a quickly growing Pakistani British circuit at the heart of this film. Then there is Jaleal, a dual-heritage competitor who braids manes and sharpens lances while quietly dreaming of show jumping. Filmed over three summers in the northern town of Bradford, RIDING TIME meanders from the absurd to the profound. Juxtaposing the boisterous play and caretaking of the stables with the pounding hooves and fine kurtas of competition, the film follows its protagonists into a transcendent space between geographies, childhood and adulthood, people and horses.
