Long considered the “Holy Grail” of rock films, The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a time capsule that captures the vibrant energy of one of rock’s most remarkable moments. Shot in late 1968 (soon after The Stones’ Beggars Banquet album) but never released, this two-day event — inspired by Mick Jagger — featured fire-eaters alongside extraordinary live performances by Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, The Dirty Mac Band, Yoko Ono and The Rolling Stones. –New York Film Festival
