Rolling Stones Super 8 Footage

This documentary showcases Super 8 footage shot by Robert Frank, who was invited to capture the essence of the Rolling Stones for their album cover. The film offers an intimate view of the band as they navigate life on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles and enjoy moments in Mick Jagger's rented mansion in Bel-Air.

Frank's work goes beyond mere documentation; it juxtaposes the glamorous lifestyle of the Rolling Stones with the stark reality of street musicians, creating a thought-provoking contrast. Graphic designer John Van Hamersveld incorporated still images and film strips from this footage into collages for the album's back cover and inner sleeves, linking the visual art with the music of the era.
