Journey Through the Past is a 1973 film by Neil Young.[2] Originally shot in 16mm format and then transferred for theatrical release[3] the experimental film is a self-directed combination of concert footage from 1966 onward, backstage footage and semi-fantastic art film-like sequences. Young's directorial debut, it was received poorly by critics.[4] The film premiered at the United States Film Festival in Dallas, Texas, in April 1973.[5] It was released in theaters in the United States in May, 1974.[6] The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2009 with the Neil Young Archives.
