Greenbelt Festival plans a film documentary on its 40 years

THE GREENBELT Festival is working on a feature-length documentary film. Greenbelt is looking to raise funds for the film by using crowd funding, an online system which allows supporters to be part of the creative process. Read a press release, "Greenbelt Festival is in the process of making a feature-length documentary film that will honestly re-tell the highs and lows of the Greenbelt Festival story - featuring rare archive footage and photography, music from across the four decades and voices, past and present. It will reveal its humble beginnings in a field in Suffolk in 1974 and weave a narrative around its long and varied history - how Greenbelt has grappled with the intertwining strands of arts, faith and justice. But the film is not just about the past. Drawing inspiration from the 40th festival theme of "Life Begins", the film will look toward the future." CR
