One of the most spiritually transporting experiences I had at the New York Film Festival this year was the world premiere of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall on 35mm. Shot with a vision at once affectionately timeless and fittingly playful, it’s truly something to behold how the One Battle After Another director frames Winter’s passionate performance. Ahead of Janus Films and Criterion’s theatrical roll-out beginning on November 20, the first trailer has now arrived.
Here’s the NYFF synopsis: “Even for those who already admired the talents of Brooklyn’s own Cameron Winter, both as a solo artist and as the front man of the band Geese, his performance at Carnegie Hall on December 11, 2025, was a revelation. A stripped-down set in which he accompanied himself on a Steinway grand, the show cemented Winter’s status as a one-of-a-kind cabaret art-pop balladeer, his soaring vibrato resonating throughout a theater known for its legendary acoustics. Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson was there with a crew, including his Licorice Pizza collaborator Benny Safdie, to capture this major star-is-born moment, and the result is a smashing cinematic concert, shot on 16mm and 35mm with a perfect mix of intimate images of Winter and of the cavernous space, keyed into the singer-songwriter’s effortless combination of bravado and sensitivity, darkness and light. A Janus Films and Criterion release.”
