Stop Making Sense (1984)
Jonathan Demme · 88m · DCP

A vignette of New York City post punk: WHPK and Doc Films present a free screening of Stop Making Sense, followed by live music in the Ida Noyes Courtyard.

The concert film to end all concert films. Shot across four different performances and combined into a seamless magical experience, Stop Making Sense brings the unmistakeable energy of Talking Heads to the cinema. Demme captures the legendary band in the palpable euphoria of performance and enhances the concert experience; and, the film’s shiny new restoration will make you want to get up and dance.
