Lilith Film in the Works
Lilith Fair '99 may be the last lap for Sarah McLachlan's
celebration of women in music and art, but the festival
will have an afterlife. McLachlan says that, like its two
predecessors, this year's Lilith will produce "one or two
CDs" of performances recorded each night.
"I'd like to release a CD on each artist on the
tour, but it's impossible," she says. "You can't
get record companies to cooperate with a venture
like that."
However, McLachlan promises that Lilith '99 will
be documented in another medium 霠film.
Canadian director Lynne Stopkewich, best known
for the dark 1996 drama Kissed, is on the road
with Lilith filming the onstage performances, the
production set-up, and the backstage action.
McLachlan says she's wanted to do a
documentary since Lilith started in 1997 but was
not able to get the project off the ground. "I
wanted to document the behind-the-scenes of the
village that moves," she says. "This whole
traveling circus that we have and how it all works
and all the people. I think it's important for people
to see what's involved."
McLachlan says she's given Stopkewich and her
crew "full, free rein to catch the essence" of the
festival. She adds that it's uncertain what form
the Lilith documentary will be released in when
it's finished, though ideally, she says, "I'd love it
to go into proper theaters and film festivals and
things like that." There's no targeted release date
yet for either the album(s) or the film. 霠Gary
