A new documentary film about lost Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett will be released later this summer.

The film takes its title from an unreleased Pink Floyd song called Have You Got It? and is directed by Roddy Bogawa who previously made a film about Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson.

Have You Got It? features interviews with the surviving members of the band. Speaking to Mojo magazine, Bogawa described his film as "truly unique", and added that it "has an intimate quality that the other films about [Barrett] haven't been able to capture".

Syd Barrett died in 2006 after living a largely reclusive life after effectively leaving Pink Floyd in 1968. He had founded the band with bass guitarist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright in 1965.
