Today, Disney+ announced that Beatles ’64, an all-new documentary from producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi, will stream exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 29, 2024. The film captures the electrifying moment of The Beatles’ first visit to America. Featuring never-before-seen footage of the band and the legions of young fans who helped fuel their ascendance, the film gives a rare glimpse into when The Beatles became the most influential and beloved band of all time.
On February 7, 1964, The Beatles arrived in New York City to unprecedented excitement and hysteria. From the instant they landed at Kennedy Airport, met by thousands of fans, Beatlemania swept New York and the entire country. Their thrilling debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Showcaptivated more than 73 million viewers, the most watched television event of its time. Beatles ’64 presents the spectacle, but also tells a more intimate behind the scenes story, capturing the camaraderie of John, Paul, George, and Ringo as they experienced unimaginable fame.
The film includes rare footage filmed by pioneering documentarians Albert and David Maysles, beautifully restored in 4K by Park Road Post in New Zealand. The live performances from The Beatles first American concert at the Washington, DC Coliseum and their Ed Sullivan appearances were demixed by WingNut Films and remixed by Giles Martin. Spotlighting this singular cultural moment and its continued resonance today, the music and footage are augmented by newly filmed interviews with Paul and Ringo, as well as fans whose lives were transformed by The Beatles.
Beatles ’64 is directed by David Tedeschi and produced by Martin Scorsese, Margaret Bodde, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, Sean Ono Lennon, Jonathan Clyde, Mikaela Beardsley, with Jeff Jones and Rick Yorn serving as executive producers.
Coinciding with the film’s Disney+ release, seven American Beatles albums have been analog cut for 180-gram audiophile vinyl from their original mono master tapes for global release on November 22 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe. Originally compiled for U.S. release between January 1964 and March 1965 by Capitol Records and United Artists, these mono albums have been out of print on vinyl since 1995. Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Sound Track); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2LP); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles are available now for preorder in a new vinyl box set titled The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums In Mono, with six of the titles also available individually.
This month, APTN is turning dreams into reality for aspiring Indigenous filmmakers eager to bring their stories to audiences across Canada.
The Indigenous broadcaster is now accepting applications from creatives interested in producing a feature length, one episode documentary (88 minutes long) in English, French and/or an Indigenous Language. The proposed show should feature Elders, Knowledge Keepers and everyday people and be based around cultural activities and educational conversations.
Emerging creators who apply will have the opportunity to have their show broadcast on APTN and receive up to $50,000 in funding from APTN to develop the project. Eligible applicants must be Indigenous and come from a company with minimum 51 per cent Indigenous ownership. See here for the full eligibility standard details.
Jennifer Podemski, an Indigenous actress and producer, is available for interview to discuss the importance of APTN’s funding offer for emerging Indigenous filmmakers.
Jennifer’s work has been proudly broadcast on APTN for years, including her shows, Unsettled and Little Bird. With over twenty years in the industry, Jennifer can speak to her personal career journey and the need to support rising Indigenous creators.
“The opportunity to collaborate directly with APTN’s programmers and receive funding to bring a project to life can be truly transformative for an emerging Indigenous creator. Speaking from my own experience, APTN’s support was instrumental in launching and shaping the trajectory of my career, opening doors for me that would have otherwise remained shut. I’m excited to witness a new generation of Indigenous voices harness the power of this platform to develop their unique talents and share their stories with the world,” says Jennifer Podemski.
In September, APTN launched APTN Languages: the country’s first national Indigenous language channel. The Indigenous broadcaster is proud to invest in the next generation of creators and storytellers while preserving Canada’s 70 Indigenous languages, many of which have fewer than 500 speakers.
“Preservation of language and culture takes all of us,” says Adam Garnet Jones, Executive Director of Programming at APTN. “We want to offer our platform and our resources to Indigenous-language speakers and help them share the stories and traditions of their communities with the whole country.”

Charli xcx today releases ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’.
You can stream & purchase ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ HERE.
The brand new version of Charli’s critically acclaimed album – released via Atlantic Records – features reimagined takes and innovative reworks of tracks from ‘BRAT’ and features the likes of Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, The 1975, Shygirl, Ariana Grande, Caroline Polachek and more.
To celebrate the release of ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’, Charli unveiled an immersive sonic sculpture at Storm King Arts Center in New York State yesterday.
Eager fans descended on the acclaimed outdoor museum and sculpture park on Thursday afternoon to find a 30 ft x 30 ft physical reproduction of her new album featuring audio from the project too. Charli then held an intimate listening party with the lucky attendees, playing out new music while talking through select tracks from the release. The event was live streamed on the newly relaunched Twitch Music channel.
The artwork by Charli xcx will be on display at Storm King until Monday 14th October.
Charli released her iconic, critically acclaimed sixth studio album ‘BRAT’ in June leaving a lasting mark on the cultural zeitgeist in the process. Labeled ‘a masterpiece’ by The Guardian, the audacious campaign has seen Charli cause roadblocks around the world with her pop-up PARTYGIRL DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and surprise collaborations with the likes of Billie Eilish, Lorde, Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, and Rachel Sennott and introduce a new tone of green to the social lexicon.
The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024 while ‘Guess featuring Billie Eilish’ debuted at Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Charts in August, making Charli the first British artist to land at the top of the singles charts this year.
Charli is currently on the road with longtime collaborator Troye Sivan for their acclaimed co-headline US arena tour ‘Charli xcx & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat’ which stops by Dallas this evening before arriving in Los Angeles next week. She will then embark on her biggest ever UK headline shows in sold out arenas in November and December before headlining Australia’s Laneway Festival in February 2025.
In February, Charli kickstarted the ‘BRAT’ campaign with a momentous Boiler Room in New York’s Brooklyn with A. G. Cook, George Daniel, Finn Keane and Doss. The show broke the record for the most ever RSVPs to a Boiler Room event, with over 40k people registering to attend. Featuring special guest appearances from the likes of Addison Rae and Julia Fox, the show quickly became one of the viral moments of the year. You can watch the full stream of ‘Boiler Room & Charli XCX Presents: PARTYGIRL’:
Alongside her new album, Charli has been working on multiple film & TV projects following the breakout success of her Barbie soundtrack contribution ‘Speed Drive’ last year. She is co-executive producing the score for the A24 film ‘Mother Mary’ with Jack Antonoff and also producing original music for Benito Skinner’s series ‘Overcompensating’ on Prime Video. In addition, Charli will star in the Daniel Goldhaber remake of 1978 cult horror film ‘Faces of Death’ and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller ‘I Want Your Sex’.
Avant-pop and electronic superstar Charli xcx has become an iconic figure in the arts, having helped expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and mainstream with her artistic output. Over the course of a trailblazing career, the multi-hyphenate creative has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.
Her lasting impact was cemented last year when Charli was honoured with the Visionary Award at the annual Ivor Novellos in London, while she also received the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women In Music ceremony in March and the ASCAP Global Impact Award in May.

Great news for fans of Netflix’s THE DIPLOMAT starring Keri Russell. The highly anticipated second season premieres October 31, 2024.
In addition to this, Netflix has renewed the critically-acclaimed political drama The Diplomat for a third season, ahead of its Season 2 premiere. The news was shared by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria on stage at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference in Los Angeles.
-Production is currently underway, and will take place in London and New York City.
-The series is created by Debora Cahn, who returns to Season 3 as executive producer alongside Janice Wiliams, Keri Russell, and Alex Graves.

-The Diplomat is a Golden Globe, Emmy, SAG, PGA, WGA, and CCA-nominated series and has received numerous additional accolades since it premiered in 2023.
ABOUT THE DIPLOMAT
In the first season of THE DIPLOMAT, Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is a seasoned foreign service officer more at home in a crisis zone than an upper-crust atmosphere. She’s planning to take her next post in Afghanistan when the White House comes calling with a change of orders, sending her to London as the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. It’s not the behind-the-scenes world she thrives in, but with war brewing on one continent and boiling over on another, her skills will still be called upon. Kate will have to defuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and charismatic political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). He’s negotiated the end of his share of wars, but sharing the spotlight with a wife who has long lurked in the shadows could be his most challenging mission yet. In this high-stakes political drama, the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships between countries and people takes center stage. Also starring David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh, with executive producers Debora Cahn, Janice Williams, and Keri Russell. Allison Janney also joins the cast in Season 2 as Vice President Grace Penn.
