funds needed for documentary on the uniqueness of UK festival culture begun at Glastonbury

A documentary maker is seeking support to achieve their funding goal to make a documentary 'Lost in the Festival' telling the story of the area of Glastonbury Festival known as Lost Vagueness.

The documentary about has been filmed over the past 12 years, and the film makers are hoping to raise the funds needed for post-production on Kickstarter.

Lost Vagueness was a uniquely wonderful place at Glastonbury that no longer exists. It was part of the entertainment at Glastonbury Festival for over a decade. The 'festival within a festival' became renowned for it's entertainment including music programmed by Continental Drifts, and cabaret in a weirdly wonderful style. Lost Vagueness began as a small group gathering away from the throng of the festival before opening a cabaret venue on the site in 1998 and for years remained the best kept secret of the festival.

It's popularity and the space it occupied grew to include a casino, ballroom and silver service restaurant in 2000. The area reached its zenith in 2003, when Lost Vagueness was extended to include the Paradise Lost Trailer Park, casino, roller-disco, cabaret stage, Chapel of Love and Loathe, circus stage, an American diner, The Big Brother caravan, freak show, a launderette, and Meccadonalds.

The film makers have a Kickstarter campaign which has just 7 days left, we've raised almost £10,000 and we need one big final push to document the uniqueness of UK festival culture. There are lots of rewards available to backers, such as original memorabilia and the opportunity to be in the film.
