Institute History
Description
Produced from out-takes of Pennebaker’s Monterey Pop, Jimi Plays Monterey is not so much a trip down memory lane as a rocketship ride to the ‘60’s. June 1967. The Summer of Love. Here is Jimi Hendrix making some of the best and wildest rock-n-roll music: yellow ruffles down his chest, a purple feather boa around his neck, face aglow, playing “Foxey Lady,” “Purple Haze,” and “Like a Rolling Stone” to thousands of adoring fans. In less than an hour we are transported to an ear when “to be young was very heaven.”

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
