GIMME SHELTER
Documentary – Music
Albert Maysles & David Maysles & Charlotte Zwerin
USA, 1971, 91′, English
In 1969 pioneering documentarians Charlotte Zwerin, Albert Maysles and David Maysles went to chronicle the last few weeks of The Rolling Stones US tour, shooting a bunch of fantastic concert footage. But most of all this documentary became famous for capturing the infamous Altamont Free concert. If the Woodstock festival represents the high water mark of the Peace and Love movement, Altamont, just four months later, has come to represent the end of the Hippie era.
With members of the Hell’s Angles hired as security, armed with pool cues and motorcycle chains and drunk out of their minds(getting paid in beer), and audience members high on methamphetamine getting more and more erratic and antagonistic, things turned ugly. What was to be the Woodstock of the West ended in chaos, injuries, accidential deaths and murder.
“The documentary filmmakers, the Maysles brothers, have recorded the events prior to, during and after the festival with a chilling sense of drama.”
Margaret Hinxman, Daily Telegraph
“It’s knowing about the killing, and waiting for it to happen on the screen that gives the film its energy and thrust.”
Howard Smith, Village Voice
“‘Gimme Shelter’ is not a concert film but a statement of a sea change, of the group way back when and of an end to its and the public’s innocence and to the counterculture that once flourished.”

*****ÖSTLUND RETROSPECTIVE*****
PLAY
Drama
Sweden | France, 2011, 118′, Swedish & English & French with English subtitles
A group of African immigrant teenagers toy with a pair of younger white kids in Ruben Östlund’s scathing drama. Based on a real-life case of bullying in Gothenberg, Play lays out a cat-and-mouse game that sees the black kids lure their victims into debasing themselves. Östlund sparked a debate among leftwing critics when this was released in Sweden, however, the weight of his critique lies not on the teen bullies, but the adults who use their sensitivities about class and race to justify their own inaction. The message is laid on slow and thick, but it’s no less powerful for it.

<<<Strangers on a Train>>>
A tennis pro is approached by a wealthy socialite with a peculiar proposition. He suggests there may be a way the two men who have never met before could help eachother change their living situations – they could trade murders. One would be off with his wife who denies him a divorce, the other an overbearing father. Both seemingly happening randomly and without motivation.
Macabre and darkly funny, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN has Hitchock’s twisted sense of humor on full display. Striking cinematography and devilish wit make this a real treat to watch.
