Description

Newly restored in 4K to coincide with its 40th anniversary, this 1984 film is considered by many critics to be the greatest concert film of all time, and is a long-held institution at the Hot Docs/Bloor Cinema. Renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme captures legendary live performances by David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison along with Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt.

Shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December of 1983, Stop Making Sense also features some of Talking Heads' most memorable songs.

Tickets: $15 (Members from $10)
