PEARL JAM TWENTY KICKS OFF WITH WORLD PREMIERE AT THE 2011 TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
07.26.11

In celebration of their 20th Anniversary, Pearl Jam will debut Pearl Jam Twenty, a definitive portrait of the band as told by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker and music journalist, Cameron Crowe, at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday September 10, 2011. Information on purchasing tickets, dates and times for the world premiere of Pearl Jam Twenty at the Toronto International Film festival, as well as two additional festival screenings of the film can be found at http://www.tiff.net.

Pearl Jam is set to release the documentary Pearl Jam Twenty worldwide on September 20th in select theaters for one night only, with a full week run of the film beginning Friday, September 23rd in key markets. The film will be shown at the highest caliber of theaters in select cities in the U.S. and internationally. For the latest update of theaters and cities showing Pearl Jam Twenty, visit http://www.PJ20.com.

In keeping with this unique theatrical release in select cities and theaters in September, Pearl Jam Twenty will then roll out in an accelerated fashion with the film’s U.S. television premiere Friday, October 21st at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), as part of the prestigious PBS “American Masters” series, airing during the first-ever PBS Arts Fall Festival. Following, the DVD of the film will be released worldwide by Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment October 25, 2011. Pearl Jam Twenty will also be available on Movies On Demand timed to the theatrical release.

The Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack, released by Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment, is currently available for pre-order at http://www.PJ20.com for its release date of September 20, 2011. Comprised of a selected track listing by Cameron Crowe—the album is a true companion piece to the film.

In addition, as part of their year-long celebration, Pearl Jam is releasing a Pearl Jam Twenty book on September 13, 2011. Published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S. and in Canada, and Atlantic Books in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, the Pearl Jam Twenty book is an aesthetically stunning chronicle of the band’s past two decades. Compiled and written by veteran music writer Jonathan Cohen with Mark Wilkerson, the book includes a foreword by Cameron Crowe (and material from all his own band interviews) as well as original interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Dave Grohl. The book is also available for pre-order now at http://www.PJ20.com.

The film, Pearl Jam Twenty, is told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, and chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after being catapulted into superstardom, their step back from the spotlight with the instinct of self-preservation, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them—giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. The film celebrates the freedom that allows the band to make music without losing themselves, their fans, or the music lovers they’d always been.

“We put so much into the film – moments, pieces of footage shot by band members, audio snippets, visual bursts, new and old interviews – many different formats, all meant to present an emotional scrapbook of what it felt like to be a member of the band on this twenty-year journey,” said Cameron Crowe. “The richness of the footage made our path very clear – just tell the story of the band and let the music guide us. It was a joy to make this film, and we’re thrilled share it with the fans.”

The captivating documentary gives fans and audiences an intimate first glimpse into Pearl Jam’s journey culled from more than 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, over 24 hours of recent interviews with the band, as well as live footage of their spellbinding concert performances.

Pearl Jam Twenty is a Vinyl Films production in association with Monkeywrench Inc. and Tremolo Productions. The film was produced by Cameron Crowe, Kelly Curtis, Morgan Neville, and Andy Fischer and executive produced by Michele Anthony.

    Cool to see some of the 95 movie being reused here! Now to get tickets to this...

    Would be pretty cool if the band/10C bought up half the theatre seats and had a lottery here since so many of the fans will be in Toronto.

    So... I have to ask... and this isn't too bitch or moan, but I need to know what led to this selection of theaters....

    You state the "highest caliber of theaters" but when I look at the website I see that you're showing this movie at River Oaks Theater in Houston.... thank you for having a showing in this city, first of all.....

    But... you're calling River Oaks Theater the Highest caliber? I realize no one associated with this band has been in Houston for 8+ years, but River Oaks Theater is not the highest caliber. It is a throwback theater that has not been renovated since sometime in the 1950's. While you're watching a movie you can actually hear the other movies going on around you... and I don't mean muffled, I mean you can hear the whole movie!

    I go to a lot of movies and I've been to pretty much every other movie theater in Houston (and there's a shitload of them)... and River Oaks Theater is prehaps the worst in terms of picture and sound quality. I get that Pearl Jam is choosing this theater due to it's throw back qualities (I mean everything in the place is old school and it's neat to see once or twice).... but don't serve me a shit-sandwich and tell me that it's going to be delicious. There are so many other theaters in Houston that have new sound systems and digital projectors and the like.....

    Please don't refer to the crappiest theater in town (in terms of projection and sound) and tell me you've picked the highest of caliber.

    Anyway, I've said my piece... see everyone there! I live right around the corner from the place... pre-party at Sherlocks on W Grey, or the Tavern beforehand? Anyone in Houston wants to organize something send me a PM and we'll par-tay!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
