Ultra Music Festival has once again delivered an unforgettable visual experience with the release of its official Aftermovie for the 2024 edition, directed by the renowned Amsterdam-based production company Final Kid Films. Known for their high-energy, cinematic style, Final Kid Films has captured the essence of the world-renowned festival, which took place in Miami from March 22 to 24, 2024. This 20-minute film is packed with euphoric scenes of music, dance, and motivational energy, providing viewers with a thrilling look at what makes Ultra so special—despite some unforeseen weather challenges.
The 2024 Aftermovie: A Cinematic Masterpiece
Despite heavy rain that impacted parts of the festival, including the unfortunate cancellation of Hardwell’s highly anticipated set, the aftermovie focuses on the high-energy moments, leaving the weather in the background. Hardwell, after months of preparation, eventually took the stage and exclaimed, “We f*cking made it babyyy!” This moment, along with scenes of fans dancing through the puddles and overcoming the rain, encapsulates the festival’s resilience and positive energy.
The Ultra Angels, the festival’s official dancers, also make a dazzling appearance in the aftermovie, showcasing their vibrant performances throughout the event. Their lively routines added to the festival’s iconic atmosphere, further emphasizing the celebratory spirit that defines Ultra.
Music and Scenes: A Perfect Blend
Techno star Amelie Lens, who made her first major appearance just three months after giving birth to her daughter Kiki, is one of the standout performers. Other prominent names like Oliver Heldens (also known as HI-LO), Miss Monique, and Dutch trance king Armin van Buuren also appear, each bringing their own unique sound to the vibrant celebration.
Drone footage of the festival and its Miami setting adds a dynamic perspective to the film, showing not only the massive scale of the event but also the beauty of its surroundings. Combined with crowd shots of festival-goers waving flags from all over the world, the aftermovie highlights the truly global nature of Ultra, where people come together to celebrate their love for music.
A Meaningful Experience Captured
As the festival gears up for its 25th anniversary in 2025, this year’s aftermovie will no doubt build excitement among fans. The footage beautifully captures the energy, diversity, and sheer joy of the Ultra experience, setting the stage for what promises to be an even bigger celebration next year.
