GIMME SHELTER

We Love the Maysles Brothers
(NR) USA – 1 hr 31 min  
1970 · d. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Charlotte Zwerin
Reviews
Starring Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Bill Wyman

Docu-royalty Albert and David Maysles capture the scene as the Rolling Stones’ 1969 concert at the Bay Area’s Altamont Speedway is enveloped by booze, drugs, bad vibes, and violence, sounding a death knell for the love-generation dream. Hailed by Indiewire as “the best rock film ever made,” Gimme Shelter remains an electrifying record of an era’s end.

The May 29 screening will be presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar, taught by Paul McEwan, Ph.D. On this date, seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
