It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025)

Melkweg, Tuesday, September 15 at 06:30 PM GMT+2

It took Amy Berg ten years to gain access to the archive of Jeff Buckley (1966-1997) through his heirs. She draws heavily on the material for this documentary about the life of the man who became a musical icon in a short space of time—thanks to a heavenly voice that only grew stronger at the top of its range, one phenomenal album, Grace, and his death at the age of 30, which left the music world stunned.

Using energetic editing, the film strings together moments from his childhood to his tragic death. There is footage of a 14-year-old Buckley singing “Roxanne” by The Police, and of his performances at the New York underground café Sin-é, where he would try out his own material, as well as audio recordings of messages he left on answering machines.

These clips reveal the more personal side of Buckley, which also emerges in interviews with former band members, musician friends like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, his mother Mary Guibert, and his former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser. Their stories make this film more than just an attempt to explain an elusive musical enigma; it becomes a tender portrait shaped by love.

Jack Johnson: SURFILMUSIC (2026)

Melkweg, Friday, June 19 at 09:15 PM GMT+2

SURFILMUSIC is a new documentary chronicling Jack Johnson’s evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician. The film traces how Johnson’s early years making surf films with close friends became a foundation for a much broader creative life, capturing moments in and out of the water that later surfaced in his songwriting. Blending rare footage from those formative surf films and Johnson's personal and family archives with present-day reflections, the film weaves together how lived experience, friendship, and exploration shaped the sound and stories behind the music. 

Directed by Emmett Malloy, featuring Jack Johnson, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Gerry Lopez, Chris Malloy, G. Love, Ben Harper, John John Florence, Emmett Malloy, Kim Johnson, and more, with a beautiful score by Jack Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez.

Blood Incantation: All Gates Open - In Search of Absolute Elsewhere (2026)

Melkweg, Friday, June 5 at 09:15 PM GMT+2

With the film 'All Gates Open' the American progressive death metal band Blood Incantation takes you behind the scenes of the band’s time in Berlin while recording their latest album 'Absolute Elsewhere'. Simultaniously with the new release of the official soundtrack, the film is now presented for the first time as a cinema screening.

Filmed at the legendary Hansa Studios, the documentary captures the band in their natural environment — writing, rehearsing, recording, and exploring the city. It’s an intimate and unfiltered look at a unique creative process, shaped by Berlin’s atmosphere and culture. This is not a typical music documentary, but a deep dive into how an album comes to life — raw, immersive and honest.

Can a sound effect change the world?

Since the dawn of the electrical age, we’ve lived alongside the sound of distortion. It’s the hiss of
TV static, the harsh crackle of a speaker pushed too loud. However, what happens when this glitch,
a signifier of the broken and the wrong, becomes part of popular music?

Fuzz flung open the door for rule breakers and rebels. It was a sonic weapon that could stimulate
powerful emotions, whip audiences into a frenzy and spark rebellion.

Starting on a highway in 1950s America, music journalist John Robb will follow fuzz through time,
calling on philosophy and science to uncover the secrets of this sound. He will stop off at the
magical moments of accident and destruction that allowed the sound to evolve and spread.
Including a rare demonstration from rock and roll icon Dave Davies on how he crafted the iconic
guitar distortion on You Really Got Me.
