Following the announcement of a 50th anniversary reissue of Neil Young's seminal 1972 album last month, further details — including a release date — have been revealed for the accompanying documentary.
Neil Young: Harvest Time will be screened in cinemas worldwide on December 1, with select encores on December 4. The film will be preceded by an introduction from Young about both the doc and the album.
The never-before-seen footage was created between January and September of 1971, spanning barn sessions at Young's Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California, an overseas performance with the London Symphony Orchestra, and tracking the album in Nashville. It combines rehearsal and performance content, featuring most of the Harvest tracklist.
"This is a big album for me," Young said in a statement. "[Fifty] years ago, I was 24, maybe 23, and this album made a big difference in my life. I played with some great friends and it's really cool that this album has lasted so long. I had a great time and now, when I listen to it, I think I was really just lucky to be there."
He added, "I hope you enjoy this story, which is Harvest Time, and which talks about everything that happened. And now people all around the world can see it at the movies."
Tickets to screenings go on sale November 10.
