"You Instead", from english director David Mackenzie, is a movie shot in only 5 days during the "T in the Park festival" which is the background/motive/albi for a love story filmed guerilla-like...
The end result seems like an exhilirating movie, powerful and immersive, rather magical at times, all happening within that short amount of time adding tension and ambiance to the plot. And the fact it's based around these new tribal gatherings that are festivals is no mistake: can we detect a social theme there ?
Can this be the start of a new Rave revival as we're also encountering a movie shot in the US around a massive festival: "Electric Daisy"?. Raves, rather underground back in the 90's, are coming back big time and now it's all happening in stadiums and huge fields with tens of thousands of electro fans. And dollars. At the same time, more and more festivals are experimenting financial troubles...Are festivals the penduluum opposite to the virtual world: the body-against-body experience versus the me-in-front-of-my-screen status ? It'll be very interesting to see how 2012 shapes up...or down.
