3 Movies to Watch Before III Points Festival 2025

Written By Founder .

III Points Festival takes over Wynwood again — a two-day pulse of house, punk, and chaos wrapped in Miami heat. The streets will glow under murals. Basslines will bleed from warehouses. The night will bend around the rhythm.

But before the lights hit, before you walk into the art and soundstorm, there’s one thing you can do to get your head right — watch a few films that move like the lineup sounds.

This year’s roster — Peggy Gou. Turnstile. Black Coffee. Denzel Curry. Thundercat. Tinashe. BICEP. L’Impératrice. — hits every wavelength.
So tonight, while the city hums and Wynwood smells like spray paint and espresso martinis, cue up these three movies that capture the same spirit: sound, rebellion, and release.

1️⃣ Beats (2019, Dir. Brian Welsh)

⭐ 4.4/5 — “Two boys. One night. The beat that changed everything.”

If there’s one movie that feels like III Points, it’s Beats.
Set in 1994 Scotland, it follows two teens sneaking into an illegal rave — black lights, friendship, freedom, and that first night when the bass hits your soul so hard it changes you.

🎧 Why it fits:
Because that’s Wynwood on festival weekend — the same raw community energy, the same “nothing else matters but the sound” vibe.
You’ll see yourself in it: the anticipation, the glow, the heartbeat under the strobes.

💡 Watch for:
The moment the world goes from black-and-white to color when the rave begins. It’s pure transformation — the visual version of when a DJ drops a track that melts the room.

📍 Mood pairing:
Put this one on with your lights dimmed and a soft house mix in the background. It’ll lock you into that III Points rhythm — a blend of nostalgia and noise, connection and chaos.

2️⃣ Lords of Chaos (2018, Dir. Jonas Åkerlund)

⭐ 4.2/5 — “True Norwegian black metal. Based on lies and half-truths.”

Now don’t let the title fool you — this one isn’t about darkness, it’s about art as rebellion.
Åkerlund (who started as a drummer for Bathory before becoming one of the most sought-after music-video directors alive) gives you a look into the birth of black metal — not through drugs or glam, but through the obsession of sound and identity.

🎸 Why it fits:
Because III Points has Turnstile, Amyl and the Sniffers, Boy Harsher — punk and noise that live on the edge of structure. Lords of Chaos captures that same creative combustion — the tension between noise and expression, chaos and purpose.

💡 Watch for:
The performance sequences — sweaty, jagged, and wild. They’re shot like something you’d see projected on a Wynwood wall at 2 a.m.

📍 Mood pairing:
Play it after midnight with a beer in hand and your festival outfit laid out. It’ll get your head in that Turnstile pit energy — fast, loud, unfiltered.

Berlin Calling (2008, Dir. Hannes Stöhr)

3️⃣ Berlin Calling (2008, Dir. Hannes Stöhr)

⭐ 4.5/5 — “The rhythm never sleeps.”

This one’s a cult legend in the electronic scene — the story of a Berlin DJ creating the set of his life.
It’s raw, funny, and deeply human — less about fame and more about the drive that keeps people chasing sound long after the lights go out.
The soundtrack by Paul Kalkbrenner (who stars as the DJ) is iconic — minimalist, emotional, timeless.

🎚️ Why it fits:
This film is for everyone showing up tomorrow for Peggy Gou, BICEP, Nina Kraviz, Black Coffee, and Michael Bibi.
It’s the essence of club culture — sweat, light, perfectionism, and transcendence through repetition.

💡 Watch for:
The main performance scene — it feels like standing inside a warehouse at 4 a.m., with nothing left but sound and heartbeat.

📍 Mood pairing:
Throw on a soft LED light and let the beats roll. By the end, you’ll be halfway to Wynwood in your mind.

🌀 Why These 3 Hit the III Points Frequency

Each of these movies lives where art and anarchy overlap:

  • Beats gives you the raw euphoria of a crowd losing itself to sound.

  • Lords of Chaos reminds you that rebellion fuels art.

  • Berlin Calling nails the perfection and pain of creation.

That’s the III Points experience — sound as story, rhythm as release, chaos as culture.

Tomorrow, Wynwood becomes the world’s loudest canvas.
So tonight, you tune in.
Let the energy build.
Let your pulse sync to the music before the doors even open.
