Showtime announced today that the network has just acquired exclusive television rights to film and air the one-night only benefit concert ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME: CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF "INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS," inspired by music from the upcoming Coen Brothers' film, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, which is set in the 1960's Greenwich Village folk music scene. Produced by the film's writer and directors Joel and Ethan Coen, the film's executive music producer T Bone Burnett and producer Scott Rudin, the star-studded concert reunites the trio behind O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? and the highly successful concert events launched in conjunction with that film. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME: CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF "INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS" will feature live performances of the film's music, as well as songs from the early 1960s that inspired the film. A portion of the proceeds from the concert will benefit the National Recording Preservation Foundation. The concert will take place at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday, September 29, 2013, and Showtime will air it nationally tonight, December 13th at 9 PM ET/PT.

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, written and directed by Academy Award winners Joel and
Ethan Coen, was produced by
Scott Rudin and Joel and
Ethan Coen. The film stars
Oscar Isaac,
Carey Mulligan,
John Goodman,
Garrett Hedlund, and
Justin Timberlake. INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS recently won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, and will also screen at this year's New York Film

CBS Films in the U.S., begins its theatrical run on December 6.
INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis (
Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles - some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn's misadventures take him from the baskethouses of the Village to an empty
Chicago club - on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul - and back again.
Brimming with music performed by Isaac,
Justin Timberlake and
Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn's married Village friends), as well as
Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS - in the tradition of O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? - is infused with the transportive sound of another time and place. An
Epic on an intimate scale, it represents the Coen Brothers' fourth collaboration with multiple-Grammy and Academy Award-winning music producer
T Bone Burnett. Grammy Award winner
Marcus Mumford is associate music producer.
Nonesuch Records releases the soundtrack to INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Produced by
T Bone Burnett,
Joel Coen, and
Ethan Coen, with
Marcus Mumford as its associate producer, the album features 12 new recordings created especially for the film and soundtrack. Also included is a never-before-released recording of
Bob Dylan performing his song "Farewell," which was originally recorded during the sessions for his album The Times They Are A-Changin', and is available exclusively on this soundtrack.
