David Byrne has announced that his triumphant Baltimore hometown stops at the Hippodrome during his 2025/2026 tour were shot on 70mm by Brady Corbet, director of The Brutalist. That footage has been turned into a film, which is currently in postproduction. “When Brady told me he wanted to shoot our show in 70 millimeter (70 millimeter!) I didn’t realize what a difference it would make until I saw some frames he sent me,” shared Byrne. “He was right, it really does capture the wide screen visual scope of the show. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“I am so grateful to David Byrne and his entire team for entrusting us to capture his hometown show on 8-perf and 15-perf 70mm,” added Corbet. “The band’s performance is an inclusive celebration of community, and of Baltimore in particular—one of America’s most underappreciated historic cities.”
