Britain’s Glastonbury music festival is the longest-running annual outdoor fest in the world. Happening almost yearly since the early 1970s, the phenomenon regularly attracts gigantic crowds, the coolest names in pop music, and, more recently, the cameras of acclaimed British director Julien Temple (“The Filth and the Fury,” “Absolute Beginners”).
For several years, Temple turned up at the fest to shoot bands and fans making rock history. The result is a documentary film, “Glastonbury,” due in theaters in April in Britain and later in the United States.
Not simply a concert on film, the movie explores the history, sociology, and meaning of the annual phenomenon. And crowd-pleasing performances by queer-inclusive bands like Scissor Sisters and gay audience favorites like David Bowie, Bjork, Coldplay, and Radiohead will make sure rock fans in other countries feel like they were actually there.
