Festival Express is a 2003 rockumentary film about the Trans Continental Pop Festival, a 1970 tour across Canada by some of the world's biggest rock bands, including The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and The Band. The documentary film combines footage shot during the 1970 tour interspersed with interviews with tour participants who shared their recollections of the time.

The film was produced by Gavin Poolman (son of the original 1970 film shoot's producer, Willem Poolman) together with John Trapman, and directed by double Grammy Award-winner Bob Smeaton (The Beatles Anthology ) with music produced by Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin), and features original footage shot in 1970 by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Peter Biziou (Mississippi Burning, Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Truman Show). A DVD release followed the film's theatrical run.

I am dying to see this, and what little I saw looked amazing in HD
