One to One: John & Yoko

Opens April 18—Q&A and discussion with "Beatleologist" Scott Freiman and Music Writer Dr. Kenneth Womack on April 20

An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, One to One: John & Yoko delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko’s only full-length concert. Featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.

The film will open for a run at the JBFC on April 18

"In its mix of remarkable archival material, the film is both tender and galvanizing, summoning up what New York felt like in 1972 (yes, I would know) and offering a fresh slant on a country’s upheaval and a generation’s countercultural awakening."
Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
"In the early ’70s, [John Lennon] truly was a walking contradiction: a radical who sat around watching television; a powerful rock star who devoted himself to pleasing and honoring his avant-garde wife, even as he held onto his prickly libertine edge; a dyed-in-the-wool Brit who became the ultimate New Yorker. All of that ripples through One to One, making it the rare rock doc that’s a must-see."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety

  • Scott Freiman is a composer, a musician, and a software entrepreneur. He is the creator of Deconstructing The Music, a series of multimedia presentations about the composition and production techniques of The Beatles and other musicians. Scott has presented his lectures to sold out audiences throughout North America at theaters, museums and corporations, such as Pixar, Google, and Facebook. Scott has also lectured at colleges and universities and has taught a 13-part course at Yale University entitled “The Beatles in The Studio.” He co-hosts the monthly Fab Four Master Class with fellow musicologist Kenneth Womack with whom he leads occasional Beatles-themed trips to Liverpool and London. Scott is featured in eleven Deconstructing the Beatles films currently showing in theatres and available on DVD and streaming, and he is the host of the Deconstructing the Beatles TV series airing on PBS stations nationwide.
  • Dr. Kenneth Womack is Professor of English and Popular Music at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. He is the author or editor of more than 40 books, including Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles (2007), the Cambridge Companion to the Beatles (2009), The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four (2014), and a multivolume study devoted to the life and work of Beatles producer George Martin. His most recent Beatles-related book, the bestselling Living the Beatles Legend, traces the story of the band’s road manager Mal Evans. People magazine feted the book as “a Holy Grail for fans, offering an extended look into the band,” while Rolling Stone extolled it as “a fascinating and essential look at the Fab Four saga, starring the loyal Liverpool mate who went through the highest highs and lowest lows with them, always by their side, until his shocking death.” Womack is also the author, along with his Monmouth University colleague Kenneth L. Campbell, of Bruce Songs: The Music of Bruce Springsteen, Album-by-Album, Song-by-Song (2024), which was named an Outstanding Reference Source by the American Library Association’s RUSA chapter.
