Using the Zapruder footage of the Kennedy assassination, the Maysles brothers, 'Gimme Shelter' and a television series opening credit sequence as a conceptual framework 'Dramatis Personae' examines the Black Star Agency's photographic archive during the time of the artist's coming to consciousness in the 1960's. The source material signals the search for meaning in the precise moment the bullet enters Kennedy and leaves the world in shock and as we watch Jagger as he tries to find the instant the knife kills the Woodstock Nation.
