## Summary

A newly restored concert film captures George Michael’s 1988 “Faith” tour shows in Paris, footage once thought to be lost. A screening at IMAX’s Los Angeles headquarters brought together entertainment executives and people who had attended or documented the original concerts, ahead of the film’s domestic release.

The Paris performances were Michael’s first solo shows after leaving Wham!, and the 24-year-old performed songs including “Faith”, “Careless Whisper” and “Father Figure”. Photographer Chris Cuffaro, who attended about 20 tour dates and took the image used on the film’s poster, said the screening moved him to tears; WME co-chairman Richard Weitz encouraged the audience to dance.
