David Byrne Confirms 'Who Is The Sky?' Concert Film
The film is in postproduction and was shot in 70mm over multiple nights at the Hippodrome, with distribution details still undecided.
- Director Brady Corbet is currently editing a concert film of David Byrne's 'Who Is The Sky?' tour, which is now in post-production. Corbet captured the performances using 70mm film.
- Filming occurred over multiple nights at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore this May; Byrne chose his hometown after his family settled there following their move from Scotland to North America at his young age.
- Corbet shot the film using 8-perf and 15-perf 70mm to capture the show's visual scale. "I didn't realize what a difference it would make until I saw some frames," Byrne said, praising the format's ability to capture the performance's "widescreen visual scope."
- The project is a co-production between The Deep End Films and Pre-Code, Corbet's production company. This follows Spike Lee's concert film for Byrne's 'American Utopia' tour six years ago.
- While no official release date or distributor has been confirmed, Byrne's tour continues with stops in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Mexico City before concluding September 19 at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens.
