The movie will have its big-screen debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on September 28. Although this will be the film’s New York premiere, ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ will also have its world premiere earlier at another location.

Based on the biography by Warren Zanes, ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ focuses on a pivotal time in Springsteen’s life in the early 1980s. The film captures a moment when the musician was balancing his rise to fame with the creation of two major works: his personal, acoustic album ‘Nebraska’ (released in 1982) and the demos for ‘Born in the U.S.A.’, the album that would make him an international superstar.

He described the festival as “a spiritual home for the kind of cinema I believe in” and expressed how deeply meaningful it is to bring a film about Bruce Springsteen to New York.

Cooper added that working with Springsteen and delving into his world had been a transformative creative experience. He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share the film with an audience in New York, a city known for its vibrant arts scene.
