Newly restored in 4K to coincide with its 40th anniversary, the 1984 film Stop Making Sense—featuring a live performance by the band Talking Heads—was directed by renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme and is considered by some critics to be the greatest concert film of all time. Starring band members David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth (along with their incredible touring musicians), the film performance was shot at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater and features Talking Heads’ most memorable songs. The live event at DCA will feature a public screening of the re-release and hosted by co-star Jerry Harrison, who will deliver introductory remarks, post-screening comments, and an audience Q&A session.
