'Great to hear Greenbelt are shooting a film to mark the 40th festival next summer. Can't wait to see it... my back feels as if I've camped at every one.' Simon Mayo
"Greenbelt - 40 years of holding up the trousers of faith, while frequently exposing the backside of religion…I hear there's a film about 40 years of Greenbelt. So there could be a queue to watch a film mainly about people queuing?" Milton Jones
A feature length documentary film that will honestly retell the highs and lows of the Greenbelt Festival story featuring rare archive footage and photography, music from across the 4 decades and voices past and present . It will reveal it's humble beginnings in a field in Suffolk in 1974 and weave around it's long and varied history and how Greenbelt has grappled with the intertwining of Arts, Faith and Justice.The film however is not just about the past, with the 40th festival theme of "Life Begins" the film will look toward the future.
When the film is made available at Greenbelt 2013 it will help raise valuable funds for the festival's future.It will then go onto Film Festivals / TV broadcasts both in the UK and internationally: The Story of Greeneblt will go far and wide!
The overall budget for the film is much higher than the target set here, we are hoping to exceed that considerably in an effort to make the very best film.
Of course the great news is we're not just asking for your money, we ARE GIVING YOU something back so please find the right PERK for you.
