She’s one of those artists who fly under the radar yet are globally renowned. A musician, filmmaker, screenwriter, actress, and producer all in one, she has worked with prestigious stars like David Guetta, Rihanna, and Flo Rida. You may have recognized her—it's Sia! Known for her distinctive voice and a string of major hits, the Australian artist is making a foray into cinema this summer with an experience billed as bold and out of the ordinary.
On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Sia will unveil in a one-off screening "Nostalgic for the Present", a musical feature that revisits her 2016 tour. That year, the singer crisscrossed roughly twenty North American cities, from Seattle to Austin, with stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Montreal, as well as Atlanta and Houston. The film hones in on her performance at the Coachella festival.
A decade on, Sia has chosen to go back in time and pull us right into this concert through a true artistic vision. With "Sia: Nostalgic for the Present", don’t expect a mere concert, but an autonomous piece that blends vocal performances with choreography, powered by the singer’s biggest hits. The 75-minute film also spotlights performances by actress and dancer Maddie Ziegler, known for her appearances in Sia’s clips "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart".
Mark your calendars for July 23, 2026, for a one-off screening of Sia: Nostalgia For The Present. In Paris and throughout Île-de-France, several cinemas will be showcasing this event film, notably around the Opéra district, Bercy, Levallois, La Défense, and Vélizy.
