Paul Thomas Anderson’s New Movie ‘Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall’ Sets World Premiere at NYFF
Paul Thomas Anderson's new concert film "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall" will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on 1 October, screening on 35mm at Alice Tully Hall with Anderson and Winter both in attendance. The film documents Geese frontman Cameron Winter's sold-out solo performance at the famed New York venue last year, marking a notable pairing of one of American cinema's most acclaimed directors with a rising indie rock figure, and adding another high-profile title to this year's festival line-up.
Anderson directed and shot the film himself on 35mm and 16mm, with music recorded and produced by Grammy-winning producer Ariel Rechtshaid, known for his work with Vampire Weekend and Adele; Benny Safdie co-produced alongside Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman and Maggie Ambrose. NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim praised the film as "a concert movie for the ages." It joins a slate that includes Tony Gilroy's "Behemoth!", Ava DuVernay's documentary "14th", and Takashi Yamazaki's "Godzilla Minus Zero", with the festival opening on 25 September with James Gray's "Paper Tiger".
