Synopsis

In light of the 40th anniversary, this iconic music documentary was restored and relaunched in cinemas.

Screenings

20:30

Vega Scene, Salongen

Saturday 9.3.

After recording three evenings of concerts in 1983, what many call the world's best concert film came to life. The band Talking Heads performs some of their most legendary songs. Frontman David Byrne gracefully guides us through the performance with energetic dancing and humorous interjections, aided by giant shoulder pads and trickling sweat.

At our festival, you will have the opportunity to both watch and dance to to the film with the audience!
