Eddie Vedder played a series of solo shows at Benaroya Hall in 2023 (they were great btw) and today it was announced that scenes from those shows will be the centerpiece of the documentary film “Matter of Time.”
The film, which will debut at the Tribecca Film Festival in June, is a documentary about finding a cure to the rare skin disease Epidermolysis Bullosa. It’s directed by Matt Finlin and along with Vedder’s musical contributions, it includes a score by Broken Social Scene.
Here’s the film’s description taken from its website:
MATTER OF TIME is a compelling documentary chronicling the fight to cure Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare and devastating genetic disease.
Fueled by the raw energy of Eddie Vedder’s 2023 solo performances in Seattle and driven by the fierce determination of patients, families, and scientists, MATTER OF TIME captures a rising global effort to cure EB and pave the way for thousands of other rare diseases.
Produced by Door Knocker Media in association with the Vitalogy Foundation, this is more than a concert film. It’s a story of defiance, innovation, and the belief that even the most impossible challenges are only a matter of time.
At the forefront of this fight is EB Research Partnership (EBRP) — a trailblazing force proving that rare disease isn’t just treatable, it’s curable. The mission is bold, their impact is real, and this film is their rallying cry to the world.
With an original score by Broken Social Scene and candid interviews from all sides of the movement, the film is a rallying cry for what’s possible when people come together—with urgency and heart—for something bigger than themselves.
