Feast of Friends is a 1969 documentary film about the American rock band the Doors. It was directed by Paul Ferrara, Babe Hill and The Doors. Ferrara followed the Doors between April and September 1968, filming excerpts of concert performances, conversations between the band and the band relaxing backstage. Hill recorded the audio using a portable Nagra recorder.
The documentary was never officially completed, although it was shown at film festivals. A restored version was released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2014.
Filming using 16mm cameras took place during the band’s 1968 summer tour. Although all of the band's Hollywood Bowl appearance in July 1968 was recorded, few other songs by the Doors were recorded in their entirety. Towards the end of the summer of 1968, the band reviewed the expenditure on the film and halted any further recording. Frank Lisciandro (who had attended film school at UCLA with Morrison and Manzarek) undertook to create a first cut of the film. The band would then decide whether to continue.
However, another event was to have a major impact on the project. At a March 1969 concert in Miami, Morrison was arrested after allegedly exposing himself onstage. The film was then cancelled.
Bruce Botnick, the band’s long-time engineer/co-producer and Anna Coker restored the soundtrack for the 2014 release.
