Following its celebrated premiere at TIFF, its national debut on CBC, and overwhelming audience demand, the film will have a limited theatrical run across Canada this November, supported by Telefilm Canada.
Directed by Ally Pankiw (I Used To Be Funny) and produced by White Horse Pictures, Dan Levy’s Not a Real Production Company, and First Generation Films, the documentary offers an intimate look behind Sarah McLachlan’s groundbreaking all-women music festival, featuring Bonnie Raitt, Erykah Badu, Olivia Rodrigo, Emmylou Harris, and Sarah McLachlan herself.
Synopsis:
The untold story of the groundbreaking all-women music festival, started by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan in the late 1990s. McLachlan was climbing the charts and selling records, but everyone in the industry told her no one would buy tickets to an all-female show. She ignored them all and, in 1996, brought Paula Cole on tour as her opening act. It went so well McLachlan decided to organize a festival that featured women-led bands and solo female artists. Drawing on more than 600 hours of archival footage, the new documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery tells the story of the groundbreaking concert tour.
