Monterey Pop is a 1968 concert film by D. A. Pennebaker that documents the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. Among Pennebaker's several camera operators were fellow documentarians Richard Leacock and Albert Maysles. The painter Brice Marden has an "assistant camera" credit, and Bob Neuwirth, who figured prominently in Pennebaker's Bob Dylan documentary Dont Look Back, acted as stage manager. Titles for the film were by the illustrator Tomi Ungerer. Featured performers include Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Hugh Masekela, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar, The Mamas & the Papas, The Who and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, whose namesake set his guitar on fire, broke it on the stage, then threw the neck of his guitar in the crowd at the end of "Wild Thing".

Synopsis

Le 3 juillet 1973, au Hammersmith Odeon de Londres. Dans les loges, David Bowie se métamorphose une dernière fois en Ziggy Stardust, ange sexy, androgyne futuriste, diva kitsch dont les jambes nues font grimper les jeunes filles (et les autres) au rideau. Sur scène, la star la plus glam enchaîne ses standards : "Space Oddity", "Suffragette City", "Rock'n'roll Suicide"… Il changera trois fois de parure au cours de la soirée, son guitariste Mick Ronson (avec qui il mimera quelques scènes de luttes sado-maso) maintenant la salle à température ambiante pendant que l'artiste disparaît en coulisses.

In the film, South African musicians, playwrights, poets and activists recall the struggle against apartheid from the 1940s to the 1990s that stripped black citizens of South Africa of basic human rights, and the important role that music played in that struggle. The documentary uses a mixture of interviews, musical performances and historical film footage. Among the South Africans who take part are Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela, Vusi Mahlasela and others.
