Directed by Peter Neal and Nicolas Roeg (DON’T LOOK NOW, INSIGNIFICANCE), GLASTONBURY FAYRE was the first film made about the Glastonbury Music Festival in the summer of 1971 featuring performances by Terry Reid, Traffic, Melanie & others. Don’t be fooled though, as the real stars of the film are the attendees who blissfully dance to the music (often in the nude), organize mystical lectures, and indulge in various psychedelics, searching for grace in their utopian playground while the summer of love fades further into the rearview. Roeg & Neal’s impressionistic time capsule unravels like an elegy to the counterculture while also functioning as a study of performance, performance art, and hippiedom.
