Paul Thomas Anderson's Film of Cameron Winter's Carnegie Hall Performance Set for Fall Tour

Paul Thomas Anderson's cinematic presentation of Cameron Winter's celebrated December 2025 performance at Carnegie Hall, a revered centuries-old arts venue, is scheduled for a touring release this autumn. These special 35mm screenings of "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall" are set to premiere on November 20th in major cities like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Santa Monica, California, before expanding to theaters across the United States and Canada. Tickets for these showings will be available starting September 17th.

Anderson meticulously filmed the concert using both 35mm and 16mm formats, capturing Winter's performance which included selections from his "Heavy Metal" solo album, his "Singles" EP, and several unreleased songs, all performed on the piano. Esteemed producer Ariel Rechtshaid, known for his Grammy-winning work with artists such as Vampire Weekend and Adele, was responsible for recording the music. This recording will also be released as a standalone live album by Winter on October 9th. Benny Safdie, known for his work on "The Smashing Machine," served as a co-producer for the film.

At just 23 years old at the time of the performance, Winter is recognized as one of the youngest solo headliners to grace the stage of Carnegie Hall, though Bob Dylan previously performed there at 22 in 1963. In comparison, legendary vocalists Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti debuted at the venue at ages 30 and 37, respectively. Winter's album "Heavy Metal" garnered critical acclaim, earning a spot on Rolling Stone's year-end best albums list, which also featured Geese's "Getting Killed." Following a surprise solo performance in Queens in January, Winter is slated to tour this fall as a member of the band Geese.

This innovative collaboration between a celebrated filmmaker and a rising musical talent not only preserves a memorable live performance but also brings it to a wider audience through the immersive experience of cinema. It highlights the enduring appeal of live music and the power of film to transcend traditional boundaries, offering fans an intimate look into Winter's artistry while showcasing the timeless grandeur of Carnegie Hall.
