Paul Thomas Anderson’s Cameron Winter Film to Premiere on 35mm at NYFF

The choice to shoot and screen on celluloid frames the project as a theatrical, cinephile-first release that aims to raise Winter’s profile as a solo artist.

Overview

  • The New York Film Festival will host the world premiere on Oct. 1 at Alice Tully Hall with Paul Thomas Anderson and Cameron Winter in attendance, and the film will be projected on 35mm.
  • Janus Films and Criterion have acquired the film and plan a supervised 35mm roadshow and theatrical roll-out beginning Nov. 20 to emphasize cinema presentations over streaming.
  • The concert documentary captures Winter’s sold-out solo set at Carnegie Hall on Dec. 11, 2025 and was shot by Anderson on 16mm and 35mm with Benny Safdie among the small crew.
  • Music producer Ariel Rechtshaid recorded and produced the live audio for the project and a live album is slated for release in early October to accompany the film’s festival bow.
  • The film pairs Anderson’s long New York Film Festival relationship and artisanal filmmaking with a high-profile venue to reposition Cameron Winter from band frontman to solo performer and to target collectors and theatrical audiences.
