As music festival season takes hold of summer, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode take a look at music festivals on screen. Mark speaks to editor Thelma Schoonmaker about her era defining work on Woodstock and director Julien Temple talks about filming Glastonbury. Ellen chats with music journalist Shaad D'Souza about the relationship between festivals and screen culture in the 21st century as well as director Jamie Crawford, whose 2022 documentary Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 showed - in some detail - what can happen when the festival dream gets torn down and trampled underfoot.
