New John Lennon, Yoko Ono Documentary On The Way From Mercury Studios
“I wanted to make a film that surprises and delights even the most dedicated Lennon and Ono fans by focusing on one transformative period in their lives and telling the tale through their own words, images and music.”“Built around the beautiful 16mm film footage of the only full-length concert John gave after leaving the Beatles I hope the film will introduce the audience to a more intimate version of John and Yoko – while also reflecting their politically radical and experimental sides.”
At the story’s core are the One to One Concerts, Lennon’s only full-length performances after The Beatles, accompanied by Ono, The Plastic Ono Band, Elephant’s Memory, and special guests.
With remixed concert audio produced by Lennon’s son Sean Ono Lennon, the film features newly transferred and restored footage, a wealth of previously unseen and unheard personal archives, such as phone calls and home movies recorded and filmed by John and Yoko personally.
Sean Ono Lennon says,
“Kevin’s documentary brings completely fresh insight into my parents’ lives during their Bank Street and early New York years, showing first hand their unwavering dedication to promoting peace and non-violence during a turbulent era of unrest, corruption and unnecessary war.”
The film is produced by Mercury Studios and Plan B/KM Films.
