(hennemusic) In celebration of the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones, The Museum of Modern Art in New York presents The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film, a retrospective running November 15 to December 2, 2012. This first comprehensive retrospective chronicles the band from the mid-1960s until today through documentaries, fiction features, concert films, music videos, experimental shorts, and archival footage, tracing the film careers of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, as well as former band members Brian Jones, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, both collectively and individually as composers, performers, producers, and actors.
The exhibition opens on November 15 with a rare screening of Robert Frank's S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main St (1972), and Cocksucker Blues (1972), chronicling The Rolling Stones' 1972 North American cross-country tour; and closes with screenings on December 1 and 2 of Peter Whitehead's The Rolling Stones Charlie Is My Darling – Ireland 1965 (1965/2012), making its debut after an absence of more than 45 years and offering never-before-seen footage. more on this story
