Glastonbury the Movie is the second film made of the Glastonbury Festival, following 1971's Glastonbury Fayre. Like the earlier film, it mixes footage of bands playing and scenes of festival goers.
The film was shot at 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.
