A new documentary about Neil Young will premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival.

Neil Young Trunk Show, which offers an intimate look at the rock star playing in a small hall in Pennsylvania, will be introduced by its director Jonathan Demme at the festival in the US.

It's the second movie Demme has made about the music star, who he's a huge fan of, after he released concert documentary Neil Young: Heart Of Gold three years ago.

The filmmaker said the veteran performer deserves every minute of screen time.

He said: "When I see him galumphing across the stage in the middle of No Hidden Path so deep in a trance-state, making sounds that I've never heard and I find so thrilling... it's like if Tchaikovsky had been a guitar player. I just think in terms of the word master coming into my head. Look at this grizzled master just burning this stuff down."

Demme, who said he is trying to capture the different facets of Young in the films, revealed he wants to make a third flick about the star.

"I don't know what the third one will be," Demme said. "Maybe it will be outdoors. Maybe be in the woods. Maybe it will be on a farm."
