\n\tThe London Film Festival<\/a> has made several additions to this year\u2019s lineup, including the concert film Paul Thomas Anderson<\/a> shot at Carnegie Hall last year with Geese frontman Cameron Winter<\/a>. Mubi has now also acquired global rights outside of North America to the film. Scroll down for the full list of LFF additions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOfficially titled Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall, the film was shot during Winter\u2019s sold-out solo run at Carnegie Hall in December 2025. Images of Anderson roaming around the concert venue with a large 35mm camera were shared widely on social media sites at the time. Filmmaker Bennie Safdie was also seen lurking at the shows with a camera. The Good Time filmmaker has now been listed as a producer on the project alongside Sara Murphy, Erica Frauman and Maggie Ambrose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe concert film will screen as part of LFF\u2019s Create strand.\u00a0It will be the UK premiere. The film will drop on Mubi in 2027. Janus\/Criterion are releasing the film in North America. <\/p>\n

\n\tJAVIER BARDEM SCREEN TALK\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSunday 11 October 10:30 at Curzon Soho\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWe welcome Javier Bardem to the Festival, whose Screen Talk\u00a0accompanies\u00a0his stunning performances in Gala entries The Beloved and Bunker.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the most accomplished actors of his generation, Javier Bardem first gained attention with roles in Bigas\u00a0Luna\u2019s Jam\u00f3n\u00a0Jam\u00f3n\u00a0and Golden Balls. He followed it with an outstanding performance in Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s thriller, Live Flesh. Further acclaim and international roles followed, with lead performances in Julian Schnabel\u2019s Before Night Falls, for which he received his first Academy Award nomination, and John Malkovich\u2019s The Dancer Upstairs, as well as a scene-stealing cameo in Michael Mann\u2019s Collateral. His moving performance in Alejandro\u00a0Amen\u00e1bar\u2019s\u00a0The\u00a0Sea Inside saw him win the fourth of his seven Goya awards, while his portrayal of a ruthless, sociopathic killer in the Coen Brothers\u2019 No Country for Old Men brought him an Oscar,\u00a0BAFTA\u00a0and Golden Globe. He changed tack to play the charming object of desire for two American tourists in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and followed it with a Cannes-winning performance as a dying man haunted by ghosts from the past in Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s emotionally raw\u00a0Biutiful.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBardem received another Oscar and Golden Globe nomination for his role in Aaron Sorkin\u2019s Being\u00a0The\u00a0Ricardos, and was Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe-nominated as Jos\u00e9 Menendez in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the last two decades, Javier Bardem has worked with Terrence Malick, Sam Mendes, Ridley Scott, Darren Aronofsky, Ryan Murphy, Josph Kosinski, and Denis Villeneuve. He played Silva, one of the most captivating Bond villains, in Skyfall, was terrifying as Max Cady in the serial adaptation of Cape Fear and will return to our screens in December as\u00a0Stilgar\u00a0in the much-anticipated third part of the Dune trilogy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tROBERT EGGERS SCREEN TALK\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSunday 11 October,\u00a017:30\u00a0VUE\u00a0West End\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn advance of the New Years\u00a0Day 2027\u00a0opening of\u00a0Werwulf, we welcome writer-director-producer Robert Eggers to this Screen Talk to discuss his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tA master storyteller whose five features all unfold before the 20th century and revel in a world of myths, legends, folk tales and gothic atmosphere, Robert Eggers is one of the 21st century\u2019s most distinctive filmmakers.\u00a0
\u00a0
Initially displaying an interest in theatre \u2013 where his vision for Nosferatu first began \u2013 he soon moved from experimental and street theatre to film, developing the story for his feature debut The Witch. Immersing himself in the early 17th century, he wrote a script with dialogue and a dialect as close to that era as he could achieve \u2013 an element of his process that would continue through all his\u00a0subsequent\u00a0work. The Witch proved an outlier among contemporary horror films and paved the way for his visually striking and boldly original sophomore feature, The Lighthouse. That saw Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson as two 19th-century lighthouse keepers gradually driven mad.\u00a0
\u00a0
The Northman, Robert Eggers\u2019 first collaboration with Icelandic novelist Sj\u00f3n, marked a significant increase in scale, as it detailed a Viking warrior\u2019s trail of destruction as he avenges his murdered father. No less ambitious, Eggers\u2019\u00a0take\u00a0on F.W. Murnau\u2019s Nosferatu is a gruesomely beautiful tale of tortured love and bloodlust, receiving four Oscar\u00ae and five BAFTA nominations. He returns with his most visceral and haunting experience yet, upcoming\u00a0Werwulf, once again co-written with Sj\u00f3n, a harrowing tale of devotion,\u00a0damnation\u00a0and the devil within. We welcome him to this Screen Talk to discuss these films and his vision of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The London Film Festival has made several additions to this year\u2019s lineup, including the concert film Paul Thomas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,82460,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-763192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-london-film-festival","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
