Brief :
- Glastonbury
Only one music festival of the 1960s has survived over the last three decades - Glastonbury. The contrast between the unchanging spirit which remains at the heart of the Glastonbury Festival and the overwhelming difference in the way we now live our lives; forms the central dynamic of this film.
Fuelled by the staggering range of music performances at Glastonbury over the years; this movie invites the audience to submerge themselves in the spirit; characters and overwhelming sensory experiences of the Festival as it travels like a strange spaceship through the extraordinary ch-ch-changes of the last three decades.

Set in 1970, Festival Express was a multi-band, multi-day extravaganza that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation and a nation. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days, the bands and performers lived, slept, rehearsed and did countless unmentionable things aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto, to Winnipeg, to Calgary, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert. the entire experience was filmed both off-stage and on, but the extensive footage remained locked away - until now. A momentous achievement in rock film archeology which combines the long-lost material with contemporary interviews nearly 35 years after it was first filmed.
