A documentary tracing the wild ride that was the life of music trailblazer Michael Gudinski has premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Gudinski was a godfather figure in the Australian music scene, before his death in 2021 at the age of 68.
The founder of Mushroom Records and Frontier Touring sent the music careers of Skyhooks, Split Enz and Kylie Minogue into the stratosphere, to name a few.
His family was on the red carpet on Thursday night, including Andrew Mackie, Kate Gudinski, Sue Gudinski, Cara Gudinski and Matt Gudinski along with Dannii Minogue, Asher Keddie, Missy Higgins and Mark Seymour.
The film featured many more stars, including Kylie Minogue, Dave Grohl, Sting, Ed Sheeran, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Jimmy Barnes.
Director Paul Goldman had worked on music videos with Mushroom and said the likes of Bono, Sting, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen "came running" to do interviews for the documentary.
While Gudinski was a household name in his home country, most Australians don't realise how popular he was globally, Goldman previously told AAP.
"Michael was held in the most enormous regard and high esteem overseas and that's really based on the fact that he was such an incredibly larger than life character," he said.
"Michael was behind some of the most iconic bands, the most classic music, he really did provide the soundtrack to our lives and the life of the nation."
The Melbourne International Film Festival runs until August 20.
