Who Shot Rock & Roll: The Film

Inspired by the acclaimed exhibition "Who Shot Rock & Roll," this documentary short explores the groundbreaking collaborations between photographers and recording artists who came together to create some of the most enduring images in rock history. From the early 1950s through the present, "Who Shot Rock & Roll: The Film" tells the stories behind the photos and takes viewers on a visual journey through the many eras of rock and roll. The film features interviews, new photographs and never-before-seen footage spotlighting the work of Edward Colver, Henry Diltz, Jill Furmanovsky, Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen, Norman Seeff, Mark Seliger and Guy Webster. Musicians Alice Cooper, Noel Gallagher, Debbie Harry and Henry Rollins are also featured. And in a special segment, the rock photography of Linda McCartney is rediscovered through images handpicked by Paul McCartney and a rare interview with Mary McCartney who discusses her mother's rarely seen, historic work. Shot in Los Angeles, New York and the United Kingdom, the film includes iconic songs and music from Blondie, The Doors, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols, The Who - and more. Powerful imagery and insightful commentary give viewers a unique glimpse into photography's impact on the ever-changing-but everlasting-culture of rock and roll.
