Hot Docs 2008

One of the few filmmakers trusted within the perfumed gardens of the 1960s Brit rock illuminati, Peter Whitehead was allowed unparalleled access into the centre of the pop circle to capture the moment for his kaleidoscopic film. With contributions from the likes of Mick Jagger, Michael Caine, Julie Christie, Lee Marvin and David Hockney, Tonite presents a dazzling and intimate record from the very core of the "in-crowd." With music by Pink Floyd, among many others. "Not a documentary in any ordinary sense," wrote Variety, "but rather an impressionistic view of the 'land of mod' as seen by a sympathetic participant."
