Look here too
Widely known as a platform for independent films and aspiring filmmakers, the Raindance Film Festival has previously discovered films such as Memento, as well as hosting the world premiere of The Blair Witch Project.
Neil Young: Heart of Gold is filmmaker Jonathan Demme's (Philadelphia, Silence of the Lambs, Stop Making Sense) intimate musical portrait of legendary singer/songwriter Neil Young, filmed during the world premiere of Young's Prairie Wind concert at Nashville's hallowed Ryman Auditorium last summer.
Young's music provides an emotionally rich view into this unique artist's relationship to family, friends, mortality, and the passage of time. Young is accompanied onstage by many long time musical companions, including country star Emmylou Harris, Neil's wife Pegi Young, and bandleader/steel guitarist Ben Keith.
Neil Young: Heart of Gold, a groundbreaking union of film and music ministered by director Jonathan Demme and Neil Young, is the permanent record that emerged from these two concerts at the Ryman.
Accompanied by musicians – strings, horns, and singers, including a gospel choir – Young performed the album he had finished recording only months earlier, Prairie Wind, in its entirety. He also offered a selection of other songs, mostly from the Harvest and Harvest Moon albums.
He refocused the emphasis of many of the songs he'd performed over the years and took a fresh look at how these songs relate to one another. At the end of this film even the most fanatical Young-devotees will view his past work with new eyes.
