"George Harrison: Living in the Material World," directed by Martin Scorsese, will be screened in a select group of theaters in the UK on Oct. 4. The film was produced by Scorsese, through his Sikelia
Productions banner, Olivia Harrison, through her Grove Street Pictures banner, and Grammy Award
winning Nigel Sinclair through Exclusive’s documentary label, Spitfire Pictures.
In addition to the Oct. 4 screenings, Picturehouse at FACT in Liverpool will be hosting a premiere screening on Oct. 2, and there will be an extended run of a week (October 3rd – 9th) at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, London. Tickets for all shows are on sale now.
The film, which uses rare and never-before-seen footage from George Harrison’s childhood, his years as a Beatle, and the ups and downs of his solo career, traces Harrison's life from his birth in 1943 to his passing in 2001. It includes interviews with Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, and Olivia and Dhani Harrison, among many others, who talk openly about his talent and the lives they shared.
Additionally, in October, Abrams Books will publish Olivia Harrison’s “George Harrison: Living in the Material World,” a personal archive of photographs, letters, diaries and memorabilia from George’s life that reveals his life from his boyhood in Liverpool, to the the Beatle years and his days as an independent musician. The book release is intended to coincide with the release of Scorsese’s film.
