HALLELUJAH: LEONARD COHEN, A JOURNEY, A SONG W/ LIVE MUSIC + Q&A
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Hallelujah:
Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song
A short performance by Conspiracy of Beards, a film screening, followed by a filmmaker interview and q & A with directors Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller
The San Francisco Leonard Cohen Festival is a multi-artist, multi-event celebration of the poetry, literature, music, and spirit of the late singer, songwriter, author, and poet. The annual festival is hosted in November by Conspiracy of Beards, a choir of men that sings the songs of Leonard Cohen.
The evening will start with a short performance by Conspiracy of Beards, followed by a screening of Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song. We will finish the evening with an interview and Q&A with the film's co-directors Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller, hosted by Daryl Henline, choir director of Conspiracy of Beards.
Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is a definitive exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, "Hallelujah." This feature-length documentary weaves together three creative strands: The songwriter and his times; the song's dramatic journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit; and moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom "Hallelujah" has become a personal touchstone. Approved for production by Leonard Cohen just before his 80th birthday in 2014, the film accesses a wealth of never-before-seen archival materials from the Cohen Trust including Cohen's personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.
