David Byrne Announces 70mm Concert Film Directed by Brady Corbet

David Byrne is turning his “Who Is the Sky?” world tour into a concert film, directed by filmmaker Brady Corbet. Shot over multiple nights at the Hippodrome Theatre in the art pop icon’s hometown of Baltimore, it documents a production that has logged more than 150 performances across four continents since launching last September. Captured on 70mm film, the project is currently in post-production. Find David Byrne Tickets “When Brady told me he wanted to shoot our show in 70 millimeter (70 millimeter!) I didn’t realize what a difference it would make until I saw some frames he sent me,” Byrne, who is producing the film, said in a statement. “He was right, it really does capture the wide screen visual scope of the show. I’ve never seen anything like it.” The last film Corbet directed was The Brutalist, which earned 10 nominations at the 2025 Academy Awards and won three: Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. Although Corbet’s nomination for Best Director didn’t result in an Oscar win, he did secure the accolade at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs. His collaboration with Byrne adds another chapter to the latter’s long relationship with concert films....
