- Paul Thomas Anderson's Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall concert film screens in U.S. theaters beginning November 20, with prints touring the country through mid-January as a roadshow-style release.
- The footage was shot on 35mm tape — a deliberate physical-format choice — and is released by Janus Films and Criterion, with Benny Safdie serving as co-producer alongside producers Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman, and Maggie Ambrose.
- The film was captured last December at Carnegie Hall on the same night Cameron Winter recorded the companion live album Live at Carnegie Hall, produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and arriving October 9 — more than a month before the film premieres.
- The theatrical tour spans 20+ cities from coast to coast, opening with double-headers at New York's Village East by Angelika and BAM Rose Cinemas on Nov 20, and Los Angeles's Aero Theater, before closing January 18 at Portland's Hollywood Theatre.
- Winter remains on tour with Geese, who are extending their Getting Killed Again run through the fall alongside the album and film rollouts.
Why it matters: A concert film by a major American director getting a 20-city, 35mm theatrical roadshow through indie cinemas like BAM, the Castro, and the Austin Film Society is a deliberate cinema-event proposition — not a streaming drop. The pairing with Criterion and Safdie signals prestige positioning, and the album-first sequencing (October 9 release, then November 20 film premiere) turns Winter's December Carnegie Hall night into a two-month cross-format rollout.
