Shine a Light

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese and the world's greatest rock & roll band, The Rolling Stones, unite to bring audiences the musical film event, <i>Shine a Light</i> - a look at The Rolling Stones, the band that defined the very idea of what a rock & roll band is, live through the eyes of Scorsese. It's hard to overestimate the importance of The Rolling Stones in rock & roll history. The group, which formed in London in 1962, distilled so much of the music that had come before it and has exerted a decisive influence on so much that has come after. Only a handful of musicians in any genre achieve that stature, and the Stones stand proudly among them. No stranger to rock concert films (<i>The Last Waltz</i>), Scorcese filmed the Stones over a two-day period at the Beacon Theater in New York, assembling an incredible team of cinematographers to capture the raw energy of the band. The Director of Photography, Oscar winner Robert Richardson (<i>The Aviator</i>, <i>J.F.K.</i>), supervised the camera team, comprised of several highly acclaimed cinematographers.<br /><br />The film was edited by David Tedeschi, who most recently worked with Scorsese on the acclaimed Bob Dylan documentary <i>No Direction Home: Bob Dylan</i>
