Chris Tofu - Lost In Vagueness: The Ultimate Untold Glastonbury Festival Story

A debut music documentary feature film by Director Sofia Olins and presented by Dartmouth Films. Featuring Fatboy Slim, Suggs (Madness), Keith Allen and Kate Tempest. The film of Roy Gurvitz, who invented the Lost Vagueness area at Glastonbury and who, as Michael Eavis says, reinvigorated the festival. It’s a story of the dark, self-destructive side of creative talent and the personal trauma behind it. As an anarchic, punk traveller, Roy scoured Europe searching for a community where he could escape his oppressive upbringing. But Glastonbury brought him back each year, to work as one of the regular site crew. Back then, he had no idea that the ironic faux casino, he’d begun as a joke for the other site crew, would turn into the very event that would revive the festival from cultural bankruptcy, and, set the dominant cultural style of the noughties.
