It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley chronicles the life of the rising young star whose otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry left the ’90s music world reeling when he died suddenly at age 30, shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Grace.
Using never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, his former bandmates Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and luminaries such as Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, the film illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures.
ONLY IN CINEMAS: Very few were fortunate enough to witness Jeff Buckley live, but those who did often described the experience as transcendent, jaw-dropping, and emotionally shattering. As part of the theatrical release of It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, Magnolia Pictures presents 26 minutes of exclusive, remastered footage from a rare solo performance at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, filmed on February 19, 1994. This previously unreleased set will screen immediately following the film, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a rare opportunity to experience Jeff Buckley’s raw, unfiltered brilliance.
The total runtime of the screening, including this concert footage, is 135 minutes.
