The Big Chill 2004
Channel 4 2004
Sweaty live funk, a dinner-jacketed ukulele
orchestra, Senor Coconut’s
cha-cha-cha version of heavy rock classic Smoke On The Water and
a six-strong hen weekend in tiaras and angels wings plotting sex
games… just some of the highlights of The Big Chill 04, a
half-hour film documenting Britain’s favourite alternative
festival. Mixing live performance, interviews with Sir Norman Jay,
Tom Middleton, and festival founders Pete Lawrence and Katrina Larkin
and documentary footage, The Big Chill 04 captures the surreal atmosphere
of this uniquely British event, a mad hatter’s tea party for
the post-dance generation, and leaves you picking grass out of your
hair, almost convinced you were there.
Guardian Pick of the Day
Documentary capturing the mellow atmosphere of an alternative festival
that mixes up dance music, theatre and a surreal sense of anything
goes. Alongside such highlights as a dapper ukulele orchestra in
dinner jackets, the likes of Norman Jay and Tom Middleton provide
soundbites.
