A24 debuted the official trailer for Stop Making Sense, the concert film featuring a live performance of Talking Heads at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983.
Originally released in 1984, the film was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2021.
After 40 years, Jonathan Demme’s seminal Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense returns to theaters with a TIFF World Premiere and Global IMAX Live event on September 11, then exclusively in IMAX on September 22 and in theaters everywhere on September 29, in a pristine new 4K restoration.
The greatest concert film of all time, Stop Making Sense brings to the screen Talking Heads at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983: David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, alongside an ecstatic ensemble of supporting musicians. Renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) captures the band at their exhilarating best, in this new and complete restoration for the film’s 40th anniversary.
