Glastonbury The Movie -30th Anniversary at GFT

Saturday 8 August, 2026 at 8 p.m.

GFT is delighted to welcome director Robin Mahoney for an in-person Q&A following the screening.

The year is 1993. The BBC cameras haven’t arrived yet. A hundred thousand people are in a Somerset field, completely unobserved, completely themselves. Shot in Panavision CinemaScope, Glastonbury The Movie captured the real festival, not the headline acts, but the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents, the wandering poets, The Verve at their very first festival appearance. No voiceover. No presenter. Just Glastonbury, as it was. Now rebuilt in 4K for the big screen, thirty years on.

Since Mahoney made the movie, Glastonbury Festival has grown into one of the world’s most famous and celebrated music festivals drawing some of the most famous perfomers.

When the filmmakers shot the movie in 1993 they recorded a unique snapshot of the youth culture at that time.

“Just looking at the haircuts, the clothes, what people are carrying, what they’re reading, what they’re doing, the style of the tents and the cars driving into the site, it’s a fascinating piece of British history,” said Mahoney.
