What was Beyoncé’s first feature-length concert film as a director?

Homecoming was Beyoncé’s first feature-length concert film as a director. The film premiered on Netflix on April 17, 2019, and documents her 2018 Coachella performances.

Its full title is Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. The documentary combines concert footage with behind-the-scenes material and rehearsal scenes, showing how the performance was developed and staged.

The 2018 show celebrated historically Black colleges and universities through its marching-band arrangements, drumlines, majorette-style choreography, and large ensemble. The production also included appearances by Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.

Homecoming is different from Black Is King, which is a 2020 visual album connected to The Lion King: The Gift. It is also distinct from Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, released in 2023 and centered on her Renaissance World Tour.
