"You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine" captures a star-studded tribute to the legendary songwriter, filmed in October 2022 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The event brought together acclaimed artists, friends, and family to share behind-the-scenes stories and perform classic songs, honoring Prine’s enduring legacy.
Prine, widely celebrated as one of history’s greatest songwriters, captivated millions of fans and earned the admiration of icons such as Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Tyler Childers, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Jason Isbell, and Bob Weir, amongst many others, are featured in the film performing on the Ryman stage for this special celebration of his life and music.
"You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine" is not rated and plays through March 26.
From writer-director Harry Lighton, making his feature debut, comes a romantic, funny, thoroughly unconventional love story, following two men who express desire in ways rarely depicted on the big-screen.
Based on the novel "Box Hill" by Adam Mars-Jones, "Pillion" stars Harry Melling as Colin, a timid traffic warden from the suburbs, and Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, the enigmatic, Adonis-like leader of a gay motorcycle gang. When hyper-dominant Ray takes on the inexperienced Colin as his submissive, the improbable duo become partners in a complex arrangement that forces both parties to test the boundaries of what may or may not be real love.
"Pillion" is not rated, but viewer discretion is advised for for nudity, sexual content and language. It plays through March 26.
