Julien Temple | career celebrated with new exhibition and special screening of Glastonbury
Somerset Film is celebrating the extraordinary career of acclaimed filmmaker and charity Patron Julien Temple with a new free exhibition and a special anniversary screening at The Engine Room.
Running from Monday 8 June to Friday 17 July, Julien Temple – A Life in Film will showcase a collection of film poster artwork and video highlights spanning Temple’s iconic career in film, documentary and music videos. The exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary of his landmark documentary Glastonbury – The Mud, The Music, The Madness, which captured the spirit, history and chaos of the world-famous festival.
Music, youth culture and British identity
Open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 3.30pm, the free exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to explore the visual world of one of Britain’s most influential directors, whose work has chronicled decades of music, youth culture and British identity.
As part of the celebration, Somerset Film will also host a special screening of Glastonbury – The Mud, The Music, The Madness (Cert 15) on Saturday 27 June at 7pm, plus a Q&A with Julien himself.
