The E1 Festival was a community run event that took place throughout the 1970s on vacant land in Stepney, East London.

Description: The video cuts between a few outdoor scenes: two women dancing in a close-up shot, a stage with a musical performance by one male singer and an electric guitar. We see a field of people ambling around, women dancing, kids playing with a giant inflated ball. There are shots of people eating in close-up and a shot of a young man combing his hair. You can hear a live cover of ‘A Teenager in Love’ by Dion & The Belmonts, followed by a musical performance by a primarily Black group, with steel pans, drums, a woman with shakers, a saxophonist and a trumpet on stage performing African songs.
