Celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones, this retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City traces the film careers of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, as well as former band members Brian Jones, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, both collectively and individually as composers, performers, producers and actors. Featuring such rarities as Peter Whitehead's The Rolling Stones Charlie Is My Darling-Ireland 1965 (1965), which makes its debut after an absence of more than 45 years, and Robert Frank's Cocksucker Blues (1972), the exhibition chronicles the band from the mid-1960s until today through documentaries, fiction features, concert films, music videos, experimental shorts and archival footage.

This retrospective, which runs November 15-December 2, also includes the classic Gimme Shelter (1970), from Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin, and Stones in Exile (2010), from Stephen Kijak, about the making of the epochal Exile on Main Street album.
