Many of us have heard about, or maybe even seen, Festival! So far, however, the film has only been available via very rare public viewings. [It is not commercially available anywhere in any form]. This priceless "period piece" documents the early-mid 1960s cultural movement, as reflected in the music performed during three years of the Newport Folk Festival, and includes concert footage of and interviews with these artists among others: Joan Baez, Theodore Bikel, Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, The Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Donovan, Bob Dylan, Richard and Mimi Fari?a, Freedom Singers, Ronnie Gilbert, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band, Mel Lyman, Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry, Odetta, Peter Paul and Mary, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Pete Seeger, and the Staple Singers.
