ollywood A-listers can often be glimpsed at Glastonbury taking advantage of the relative anonymity away from the glare of paparazzi. And this year some of cinema’s biggest stars are not just enjoying downtime on Worthy Farm, they are taking part in one of the biggest draws.
“It used to be the only form of night-time entertainment after the main stages shut down, so there was no competition,” Mustafa said. “Everyone went to the field in the open air and watched films. Now there are more than 70 venues and people’s taste in cinema has changed.” Mustafa believes the attraction of the Palais for stars is the chance to support the films they are proud of. “Every year we get more confident approaching talent. All you need to do is introduce a film,” he said. “The talent feel they want to come to Glastonbury because they won’t be pestered or harassed, they can be themselves … the main challenge was finding time for them in between shooting.”
Mustafa said luck and hard work had helped produce a bumper year for the tent, but there are hopes that the cinema offering across the festival could one day challenge music’s dominance. “People have suggested that they want it to become like South by Southwest, where the cinema becomes as important as the music,” he said.
