Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery will go behind the scenes of groundbreaking music festival
A documentary about the groundbreaking music festival Lilith Fair will air this fall on CBC. Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery will go behind the scenes of the women-focused event co-founded by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan in the late 1990s.
Directed by Ally Pankiw, the documentary will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before airing on CBC and CBC Gem on Sept. 17. (It'll stream on Disney+ outside of Canada.)
"I'm so filled with pride and nostalgia watching this film," said McLachlan in a statement. "Ally and the team have beautifully captured the magic and strength of a community of women who came together and lifted each other up to create positive change in the world."
Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery is based on the 2019 article titled Building a Mystery: An Oral History of Lilith Fair, published in Vanity Fair and Epic Magazine. It'll feature unreleased archival footage as well as interviews with fans, organizers and performers.
Original Lilith Fair artists who'll appear in the film include Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Paula Cole, Jewel, Indigo Girls and Emmylou Harris. Singers from the new generation of female artists, such as Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo, will also sit down for a chat.
Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery is produced by Not A Real Production Company — which was founded by Schitt's Creek co-creator Dan Levy — as well as Elevation Pictures for ABC News Studios.
"Lilith Fair holds a very special place in my heart," Levy said in a statement. "It was one of the first spaces where I remember feeling at home. The music, the sense of community, and the power of a group of women proving an entire industry wrong was a tremendous thing to experience."
The festival initially launched in the summer of 1997, and it returned for the following two summers — raising more than $10 million for charity. It was revived the summer of 2010.
McLachlan has won 12 Juno Awards and three Grammy Awards, and her best-known songs include Angel, Building a Mystery, Adia and I Will Remember You. She will release the album Better Broken, her first studio album of new music in more than a decade, on Sept. 19. The Halifax-born singer will also tour Canada this fall.
