Presented by A24 in 4K Ultra HD, each screening features Harrison live in-person, offering behind-the-scenes stories, an introduction to the film, and a post-show audience Q&A. The restored 4K version premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023, where a reunited Talking Heads sat down with Spike Lee following the film’s screening.

The re-release also boasts a newly remixed Dolby Atmos soundtrack, with Harrison directly involved in restoring the original audio. “This is just another level better,” he told Forbes. “We went back to scratch on everything — the sound, the mix, the colour correction. It’s thrilling to hear the film this way. When you close your eyes, you can feel where every musician is standing.”
In other Talking Heads news, the band only recently released the first-ever music video for their classic hit “Psycho Killer,” starring Oscar-winning actress Saoirse Ronan.
