Glastonbury the Movie is a 1996 documentary film about the Glastonbury Festival produced and directed by William Beaton, Robin Mahoney and Matthew Salkeld.

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, 1994 and 1995 festivals but most of the footage is from 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 which was one of the rest years for the festival. It failed to be a success and was criticised as being not representative of the festival. However as it featured no Pyramid Stage footage, a greater emphasis was made on the other areas of the festival. The film received a VHS release later in 1996.

Music

Bands featured in the film include:

Back to the Planet
Chuck Prophet
