About the film

"Glastonbury the Movie" is the second film made of the Glastonbury Festival after 1971's "Glastonbury Fayre". Like the earlier film, it mixes footage of bands playing (though no footage of any acts playing the festivals Pyramid Stage are shown) and scenes of festival goers. However unlike the earlier film there is an attempt to string a narrative together featuring several various groups of people or individuals.

The film was shot at the 1993, festival. The film is structured into telling the story of the festival day by day from the Friday through Saturday and finishing on the Sunday.

The film was released in 1996.
