Selected by the Documentary Branch, Everyman presents: Stop Making Sense Stop Making Sense documents the groundbreaking Talking Heads at their peak and was directed by Jonathan Demme. In honour of its fifteenth anniversary, Stop Making Sense was digitally remixed and remastered by Palm with the newest state-of-the-art Dolby technology. Oscar-winner Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs) collaborated with cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner) to make the quintessential concert film, documenting three nights of Talking Heads concerts at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre in December 1983. David Byrne and his fellow Heads perform such modern classics as “Psycho Killer,” “Burning Down The House,” and “Once In A Lifetime,” while Demme’s direction, Cronenweth’s camerawork, and the sound recording make you feel as if you’re in the front row of the Pantages.  Presented in 4k with Dolby Atmos, the feature returns to the big screen at Everyman The Whiteley on Thursday, 30 October.
