David Byrne's Contemporary Color Documentary, in Theatres March 3

The trailer for David Byrne's Contemporary Color documentary - to be released theatrically
on March 3rd by Department of Motion Pictures and Oscilloscope Laboratories, has been released today. In the summer of 2015,  David Byrne staged an event at Brooklyn's Barclays Center to celebrate the creativity of Color Guard: synchronized dance routines involving flags, rifles, and sabers, colloquially known as "the sport of the arts."

Watch the trailer for Contemporary Color, below.

Byrne recruited performers including the likes of St. Vincent, Nelly Furtado, Devonté Hynes, Zola Jesus, Ad-Rock, tUnE-yArDs, and Ira Glass to collaborate on original pieces with 10 color guard teams from across the US and Canada.

The result is CONTEMPORARY COLOR, a bold and irrepressible snapshot of a one-of-a-kind
live performance.
