Cameron Winter Carnegie Hall Film Teaser Previews 35mm Run

Paul Thomas Anderson's concert film Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall has a new teaser built around a brief piano passage of "Drinking Age." The film follows Winter's sold-out solo piano show at Carnegie Hall and will play in theatres in the United States from 20 November in 35mm. The teaser was detailed by Rolling Stone and the official trailer, titled "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall - Official Trailer," is posted on YouTube by @janusfilmsnyc.

Winter, 24, is the frontman of the band Geese. Anderson filmed him alone at the piano for the Carnegie Hall date, rather than with a full band on stage. "Drinking Age" sits midway through the 12-song set captured in the film.

Anderson shot the project on 35mm film, the celluloid format that records images on physical strips of film stock. The cinema release will also be shown in 35mm. It runs 72 minutes.

The film had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival. It is listed as a Janus Films and Criterion release, with booking details published by the Jacob Burns Film Center. The wider theatrical run in the United States is scheduled to start on 20 November, as reported by Pitchfork.

An audio-only version arrived first. Live at Carnegie Hall was released on 9 October and contains the full performance without visuals. The sound came first. "Drinking Age," heard briefly in the teaser, is a cut from Heavy Metal performed at the show, according to Exclaim!.

For fans, this means two ways to catch the same night. The album holds the complete set for home listening. The film adds the room, the piano and the audience, cut together over just over an hour.

What makes this stand out is the pairing. Anderson works mainly in narrative features, while Winter is known as a band frontman playing solo here. A concert film records a live show for cinema audiences, rather than staging new scenes. It is a solo piano show. Just Winter, the piano and the hall, captured for 72 minutes on film.
