Cameron Winter Concert Film Tours US

Three unreleased songs from Cameron Winter's Carnegie Hall performance will appear on the accompanying live album: 'It All Fell In The River,' 'Emperor XIII In Shades,' and 'If You Turn Back Now.'
Janus Films and Criterion have acquired North American rights to Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall, with a 35mm theatrical roadshow launching on November 20 in New York and Los Angeles and a wider U.S. rollout to follow.
The accompanying live album, Live at Carnegie Hall, is produced, recorded and mixed by Ariel Rechtshaid and will be released on October 9, featuring material drawn from the Carnegie Hall performance.
Paul Thomas Anderson directed and shot the film on 35mm and 16mm, with Benny Safdie co-producing; the project also lists Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman, and Maggie Ambrose as producers, while Ariel Rechtshaid supervised the music recording for the film and live album.
Paul Thomas Anderson has directed a concert film capturing Geese frontman Cameron Winter's December 2025 Carnegie Hall solo performance, shot on 35mm and 16mm. Stereogum reports the film will launch a theatrical roadshow on November 20 in New York and Los Angeles, with Janus Films and Criterion handling North American distribution and a broader U.S. rollout to follow.
The project pairs the film with a live album, Live at Carnegie Hall, produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and dropping October 9. The Fader notes the album features three unreleased songs: 'It All Fell In The River,' 'Emperor XIII In Shades,' and 'If You Turn Back Now.' The collaboration marks Anderson's return to documentary-style work after One Battle After Another.
Anderson directed and shot the entire film himself using both 35mm and 16mm. Far Out Magazine confirms the footage was captured during Winter's sold-out December 2025 Carnegie Hall performance. Benny Safdie co-produced the project, with Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman, and Maggie Ambrose also credited as producers. Ariel Rechtshaid supervised the music recording for both the film and the accompanying live album.
The live album drops October 9, about six weeks before the film's theatrical premiere. The Line of Best Fit reports that Ariel Rechtshaid, known for work with Adele and Vampire Weekend, produced, recorded, and mixed the album. Three previously unreleased tracks appear only on this recording, giving fans new material from the Carnegie Hall session before the film reaches theaters.
The film will not get a traditional wide release but instead tour select theaters on 35mm starting November 20. Stereogum notes the initial rollout targets New York and Los Angeles, with further U.S. cities added afterward. The exclusive film release through Janus Films and Criterion positions it as a prestige cinema event rather than a mainstream theatrical drop. Winter released his solo album Heavy Metal in 2024 while balancing Geese's tour schedule.
This concert film marks Anderson's return to documentary-style filmmaking following One Battle After Another. The director's pivot to capturing live music represents a fresh creative direction. Winter and Anderson's partnership blends cinema craft with contemporary music, highlighting how concert films can function as serious artistic statements when directed by acclaimed filmmakers.
