Joni Mitchell is a featured performer in "Message to Love."

A message of love, this isn't

"Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival" chronicles what some describe as the demise of the '60s hippie culture when an outdoor rock festival disintegrated into a conflict over money, on stage and off.

The documentary blends concert footage with such performers as Jimi Hendrix (12 days before his death), The Doors, The Who, The Moody Blues, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and others with the unfolding dissension of an audience that didn't want to pay admission and artists' reps demanding payment for the performers.

The film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday at the University of Hawaii Art Auditorium. Admission is $4. Information: 956-7866.
