Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song + Q&A

After the screening, we'll be joined by the directors Daniel Geller & Dayna Goldfine for a Q&A. At the Ritzy and Picturehouse Central shows we'll also be joined by Robert Kory, Leonard Cohen’s former long-time manager and current head of the Cohen Family Trust.

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is 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 reject 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 from the Cohen Trust including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.
