Paul Thomas Anderson turns Cameron Winter's Carnegie Hall solo into 71-minute film
Paul Thomas Anderson has turned one piano, one singer and one famous hall into a 71-minute concert film.
Cameron Winter At Carnegie Hall, directed by Anderson and distributed by Mubi, follows 24-year-old Cameron Winter, frontman of New York rock band Geese, performing alone with a grand piano, according to Deadline.
The film was shot during Winter's sold-out solo run at Carnegie Hall in December 2025, as reported by Deadline. The run centred on Thursday, 11 December 2025 at 8pm at Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, Carnegie Hall's largest space, according to Carnegie Hall.
Anderson made the film in partnership with Benny Safdie and shot it on warm 35mm colour stock, Deadline reported. That choice means shooting on physical film rather than digital video, giving the image a softer, grainier texture.
The release follows a festival path on both sides of the Atlantic. The film was added to the Spotlight section of the New York Film Festival, a sidebar for notable new work, and is to have its world premiere at the 64th edition of the festival, according to Deadline. It was then announced as an additional title for the 70th BFI London Film Festival, the BFI said.
In London the USA 2026 production was scheduled for Wed 7 Oct at 18:30 at Prince Charles Cinema and Thu 8 Oct at 15:00 at NFT1. It is listed with London and New York festivals and has had screenings at the London Film Festival, including a second screening, Deadline reported.
It is Anderson's second music-focused feature, Deadline reported. The film has already drawn press coverage around the festivals, with a review in The Guardian on 2 October 2026 as part of its New York Film Festival 2026 coverage and a review in NME.
What makes this stand out is scale. No band. No cutting away. Just a young songwriter at a grand piano in a 2,800-seat hall, held for just over an hour.
