SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - September 19, 2007) - Pearl Jam announces the theatrical release of
"Immagine in Cornice" (Picture in a Frame) (Monkeywrench Records,
distributed by Rhino Entertainment), a live concert film chronicling the
band's performances with behind-the-scenes footage from the five Italian
concerts that took place as part of the band's 2006 European tour. Featured
cities and venues include: Pala Malaguti in Bologna, the Arena di Verona,
the Forum in Milan, Palaisozaki in Torino and Duomo Square in Pistoia,
Italy.
"Immagine in Cornice" was directed by renowned photographer, filmmaker and
long-time friend of the band Danny Clinch (Bruce Springsteen "Devils and
Dust, Live from Bonnaroo 2004") and was shot in High Definition, Super 8
and a number of formats in between.
The film will have a New York City one-night only premiere on September 25
at Clearview Cinemas' Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan. The film will play in
Digital Cinema -- a spectacular audio and video experience for viewers.
Pearl Jam fans will have a rare opportunity to see the film on the big
screen for this one-night premiere, with tickets on sale now for $15. The
New York City event will also feature a silent auction of director Danny
Clinch's Pearl Jam memorabilia.
"What better place to host a film about a legendary band than at
Clearview's legendary Ziegfeld Theatre," said Doug Oines, senior vice
president and general manager, Clearview Cinemas. "Clearview's exclusive
screening of Pearl Jam's 'Picture in a Frame' is a wonderful example of our
commitment to provide New Yorkers with unique entertainment choices."
'''Picture in a Frame' is a film I've really wanted to make," said Danny
Clinch, director. "The band invited me to Italy and gave me the access I
needed to show a side seldom seen by their fans. It has become a
collaboration -- as well, the band even offered me some music that has
never been heard and Mike (McCready) went into the studio to create some
more music for the soundscapes. This is a look at Pearl Jam that no one has
seen yet. A trip through Northern Italy with the band, through the document
and through abstraction."
The film also will have a simultaneous September 25 release in 20+ U.S.
cities for one night only. Cities include: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San
Diego, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Seattle, Atlanta,
St. Louis, Memphis, Las Vegas and more. Fans should check

"Immagine in Cornice" captures prime stage versions of songs spanning Pearl
Jam's career -- ranging from "Even Flow" to "Corduroy" to "World Wide
Suicide" -- and gives fans a behind-the-scenes perspective of the band's
travels through Italy -- from their first stop in Bologna to their final
show in Pistoia. Personal interviews, candid performances and glimpses
backstage and off stage provide a rare look into the band's life on the
road.
"Immagine in Cornice" is Pearl Jam's first concert film and DVD release
since 2003's "Live at the Garden."
