Made-up of footage shot by countless professionals and amateurs alike, and featuring a raft of indie talent, Jonathan Caouette’s celebration of the titular alternative music festival, a decidedly uncommercial venture taking place annually in various ageing holiday camps across Britain, remarkably manages to feel like the work of a single voice, and a life-affirmingly vibrant one at that.
