Join us for our monthly dance party screening of the 4K restoration of Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme’s 1984 masterpiece of sight and sound! Arrive early — our friends at Resident Vinyl will be here at 7:30PM to spin some music and sell some records before the show!
Stop Making Sense is an iconic concert film documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity, while on tour for their 1983 album “Speaking in Tongues.” The band takes the stage one by one and is joined by a cadre of guest musicians for a career-spanning, cinematic performance that features creative choreography and visuals. Featuring masterful performances by David Byrne and photography by Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner), Stop Making Sense is a concert experience at its most colorful and life-affirming.
