It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (screening)

Irish Premiere

The adored alt-rock star released just one album, 1994’s Grace, before his untimely death. This poignant documentary draws on insights from friends, family, and lovers combined with exclusive, never-before-seen footage in a celebration of his singular talent.

Loved by everyone from Dylan to Bowie, Jeff Buckley was a once-in-a-generation talent. This moving documentary traces his journey from early childhood, and a complicated relationship with his absent father, through to the vibrant 1990s New York art scene and the bidding war over his debut album.

Directed by Amy Berg (Janis: Little Girl Blue, SFF 2016), It’s Never Over is a comprehensive and heartfelt portrait, weaving together electrifying live performances, intimate archival footage and excerpts from his personal notebooks, alongside interviews with those who knew him best.

The title captures the spirit of the film: it’s a testament to a legacy that continues to inspire.
