R.E.M., Warner Bros. Records, and Cinema Purgatorio present “This Is Not A Theatrical Release,” limited sneak preview screenings of the upcoming R.E.M. un-concert documentary This Is Not A Show: Live at the Olympia in Dublin.

The film will screen one night only in select towns across the U.S.

Cinema Purgatorio is actively soliciting suggestions for more places to screen…the venues can be movie theaters, rock clubs, campus multi-purpose rooms, barns…

In their acclaimed 2007 “working rehearsals” in Dublin, R.E.M. set up camp at the venerable Olympia Theatre in Ireland’s capital city and tested new material over five nights before passionate, capacity crowds.

Live At The Olympia gives fans an opportunity to hear those songs at their earliest stages of development. In addition to the new material, the band also served up several songs from across their nearly thirty year career.

The documentary This Is Not A Show, directed by Vincent Moon and Jeremiah, premiered in late September 2009 at the Sound Unseen festival in Minneapolis. It runs approximately sixty minutes – definitely not enough for a “theatrical” release.
