Films We Like and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are pleased to announce the US theatrical release of the new 4K restoration of Larry Weinstein’s September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill, with event screenings at select Alamo Drafthouse theaters on November 24, 2026.
Inspired by Hal Willner’s tribute album Lost in the Stars, the film is a dazzling, genre-defying celebration of Kurt Weill’s music, performed by an extraordinary lineup of artists: Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, Betty Carter, PJ Harvey, William S. Burroughs, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Charlie Haden, The Persuasions, and more.
Each performance is staged against visually striking tableaux, from 1930s factory floors and smoky French cabarets to the bright lights of Broadway, capturing the restless, innovative spirit of Weill himself.
