Join Boston Jewish Film for a special in-person screening of Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song.
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 rejection 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, including Cohen’s notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and rare audio recordings and interviews.
