It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley
Includes a post-film screening of 26 minutes of exclusive, remastered footage from a rare solo performance in Cambridge, MA.
Before his untimely death in 1997, rising star Jeff Buckley had released just one album, but his talent was undeniable and his spirit was irresistible. Now, the depth of his legacy is explored through never-before-seen footage, rare voice messages, and testimonials from friends and loved ones. Amy Berg (JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS) crafts a deeply compassionate and lyrical portrait of the legendary musician, offering a view into the inner world of an artist who burned brightly and briefly. Berg balances the tragedy of Buckley’s sudden loss with moments of joy, love, and artistic discovery, letting his memory and music—including footage of haunting live performances—resonate. Like his music, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY is tender, searching, and full of life.
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 will proudly present 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.
