Rising musician Jeff Buckley had only released one album when he died suddenly in 1997. Now, never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and accounts from those closest to him offer a portrait of the captivating artist.
Like many fans of Jeff Buckley’s 1994 album Grace, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg has long been fascinated by the enigmatic singer/songwriter, who died so tragically in Memphis at the age of 30. Buckley’s voice and songs, with their dreamy and ethereal qualities, have endured and riveted new audiences and emerging musical artists alike over the past 30 years. In IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, Berg brings her questing curiosity to Buckley’s personal archives, much of it never seen by the public, and to conversations with Buckley’s family, former bandmates, and romantic partners, illuminating the heart and mind of a tender, young, creative soul finding his way in the world – and lost too soon.
Exclusive bonus material following the feature: Very few were fortunate enough to witness Jeff Buckley live, but those who did often described it as transcendent, jaw-dropping, and emotionally shattering. As part of the theatrical release of IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, Magnolia Pictures proudly 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.
Please note: Here-After is a 21 and over establishment. The entrance is via the alley in back of The Crocodile building. Get there early to order tasty beverages from the bar and delicious food from Tat’s Deli!
“…a stirring tribute made with a lot of heart.” David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
“What Amy Berg accomplishes in It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley is to bring Jeff Buckley alive as the insanely charismatic budding rock star he was, but also to color in the underpinnings of his life that lent it an almost mythological aura.” Owen Gleiberman, Variety
