Join director Bernard MacMahon and sound supervisor Nicholas Bergh at IBC2025 in Amsterdam for an exclusive screening and in-depth talk on the making of Becoming Led Zeppelin.
Becoming Led Zeppelin is a music documentary that holds the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend across IMAX theaters worldwide and is the most watched documentary of 2025 across all platforms. That makes an IBC Conference session titled How Becoming Led Zeppelin was Created, which be held on Saturday, September 13 at 11.30 am CEST in the Auditorium Complex of the RAI Amsterdam, a potentially fascinating deep dive into how the whole thing was put together.
Becoming Led Zeppelin director Bernard MacMahon and sound supervisor Nicholas Bergh will fly in from Los Angeles for an in-depth talk for the first time on the mechanics of creating the IMAX hit; examining how a vast archive of 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, 2-inch video, tape, disc and stills were all transferred and sculpted into a cohesive whole for the record-breaking release.
Later, Saturday, September 13 at 7.00 pm CEST, an IBC special event screening of Becoming Led Zeppelin and an exclusive Q&A with MacMahon and Bergh will take place at the newly completed Cinema The Pulse (Hildegard von Bingenstraat 4, on the edge of the Zuidas), which isn't scheduled to officially open to the public until October 2025.
Tickets for the special screening and Q&A can be purchased via Cinema The Pulse here.
“Bringing Becoming Led Zeppelin to Amsterdam for a special screening with the IBC is a real honor," says MacMahon. "Led Zeppelin only played Amsterdam twice during their career, once right in the middle of the period we cover in the film, so being able to give the Dutch audience a chance to see them again in their prime is extremely exciting.”
