Our documentary Rolling Like a Stone was screened in NYC between the 18th and 24th of May at Anthology Film Archives.

The film won the Best Music Documentary Award at Silverdocs, USA, in June last year. The jury (including the artist Peter Gabriel) gave this motivation: ”A gracefully shot and edited film about music and about fate and dreams and the complicated realities that display them. It takes a very specific and seemingly insignificant moment and turns it into universal human drama.”

The starting point for the film is an 8mm amateur home movie from 1965, where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones attends an after-concert party with local musicians and pop fans.
For some the party never ends. Immortalized on a forgotten home movie, the party-goers try, forty years later, to make sense of these memories, and the eternal question of ‘What could have been?’

The film is directed by Magnus Gertten from Auto Images together with Stefan Berg. Editor is Jesper Osmund, Copenhagen.
