Janus Films and Criterion Buy Rights to Anderson's Concert Film

Janus Films and Criterion have announced their acquisition of the North American rights for "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall," a concert film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. This documentary captures the electrifying solo performance of Geese's frontman, Cameron Winter, during a sold-out event at the prestigious Carnegie Hall, which took place in December 2025. Anderson employed both 35mm and 16mm film formats to capture the intimate yet grand setting of the concert, adding a unique visual dimension to the film. The use of these classic formats reflects Anderson's commitment to traditional filmmaking methodologies while honoring the live music experience. The film comes at a perfect time as Geese launched their “Getting Killed” world tour shortly after the Carnegie Hall performance, highlighting the band's growing popularity and artistic evolution. Reviews from the concert have noted the poignant delivery of Winter’s vocals and the band’s dynamic stage presence, elements that viewers can expect to experience through Anderson’s cinematic lens. Janus Films and Criterion, known for their dedication to preserving and promoting classic and independent cinema, aim to bring this remarkable performance to a broader audience. By acquiring this film, both companies continue their legacy of distributing films that celebrate artistry in various forms. Fans and new audiences alike are poised for an immersive experience that blends music seamlessly with exceptional filmmaking. Further details regarding the film's release date and distribution plans are anticipated in the coming months. As anticipation builds around "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall," the collaboration between Anderson, Janus Films, and Criterion is expected to generate significant interest in both the concert film and the ongoing prominence of live music in cinema.
