City Hall Arts Center
SATURDAY 24 SOLD OUT!
Albert Maysles was one of the filmmakers on hand to record the tragically ill-fated Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont Speedway on December 6, 1969. Only four months earlier, Woodstock defined the Love Generation; now it lay in ruins on a desolate racetrack six miles outside of San Francisco. Over 300,000 people attended, and the organizers put Hell’s Angels in charge of security around the stage, with disastrous results. The Hollywood Reporter said on the film’s release in 1970: “A stunning film, a sensational piece of filmmaking, a landmark.” Post-film event: Filmmaker Albert Maysles will discuss the film after the Saturday 9:15 show. Sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council. Rated R, 91 minutes. Film Website
