It has been announced that Pearl Jam Twenty, a new documentary about the band by director Cameron Crowe, will receive its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday September 10.
The film coincides with celebrations of the band's 20th anniversary and will be screened in selected cinemas worldwide on Tuesday September 20, with a full week run beginning on Friday September 23 in key global markets.
Commenting, Crowe said: "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.
"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 to share it with the fans."
The Crowe-selected soundtrack to the film will be released in September, with the DVD available in October.
In further celebrations of the band's 20th anniversary, a Pearl Jam Twenty book will also be published, with further details on all releases and events available at: www.PJ20.com.
