Prince's classic album 'Sign O' The Times' amplified in IMAX format for a memorable purple-lit night experience post-darkness.
In a night filled with music, fashion, and a tribute to a legendary artist, the remastered film "Sign O' The Times" by Prince was screened at AMC Kips Bay 15, New York. The event, hosted by IMAX, Mercury Studios, FilmRise, and Paisley Park Enterprises, served as a civic ceremony for Prince's canonized rebel legacy.
The remastered film, featuring customized theatre geometry and precision audio, provided an enhanced visual and audio experience, celebrating the film's cultural significance and Prince's artistic legacy. Every synth stab in the remastered film felt monumental, amplifying the discipline in service of desire that characterizes Prince's legacy.
Timo Weiland, Victoria Brito, Mariah Strongin, Phillip Bloch, Legendary Damon, Omar Hernandez, and Tommy Silverman of Tommy Boy Records were present, contributing to the fashion and nightlife aspect of the event. The second act of the evening took place at Jean's, which was remade into a noir-violet shrine. Projection displays, signature purple cocktails, and a Prince-branded vintage limousine were part of the transformation.
The evening's performances were not to be forgotten. AKU (of Florence & The Machine lineage), The Muses, Rex DeTiger, Venus X, and a live tribute performer kept the temperature at "soft-riot." Sheila E's performance during the screening was godsmacking, turning rhythm into architecture. Spike Lee, Taye Diggs, Luann de Lesseps, Don Lemon, Dianne Brill, Amir Arison, Genevieve Gorder, members of Interpol, Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello, Blu DeTiger, and Emmett Skye were in attendance, adding to the star-studded event.
The remastered 'Sign o' The Times' will be globally released on Aug. 29. The film does not just refurbish a concert movie; it restores an argument about the intersection of virtuosity, ferocity, discipline, and spectacle that defines Prince's artistry. The screen became a voltage field and the band a choreography of knives during the screening, reminding us that pop, in the right hands, becomes philosophy-seduction with an ethic, joy with a rigorous spine.
