GIMME SHELTER Documentary Film Screening
Friday 20. February at 17:00 - 18:31
FOMO Secret Cinem,a, Tbilisi
Albert Maysles | 1970 | USA | 1h31m | English language with English subtitles
GIMME SHELTER is film #8 in FOMO Secret Cinema's week-long Music Film Fest
GIMME SHELTER documents the Rolling Stones’ 1969 American tour, culminating in a concert that exposed the darker edge of counterculture optimism. The film places cameras inside rehearsals, crowds, and backstage tension, capturing a moment where music collides with social fracture.
The Maysles brothers refuse commentary. Events unfold in real time, forcing the audience to confront how celebration can tip into chaos. The band appears both central and powerless, watching a spectacle spiral beyond control.
As a record of an era, the film marks the end of a dream. It reveals how rock mythology intersects with real bodies, real violence, and the limits of hippie fantasy.
