The Horse Hospital in London is hosting an exhibition about the legendary Saturation 70, a dystopian film about ecological destruction shot in and around a UFO convention at Giant Rock (near Joshua Tree) and Los Angeles in 1969 and 1970. The unfinished film starred country singer Gram Parsons, Julian Jones (the five-year-old son of Rolling Stone Brian Jones), Michelle Phillips (of the Mamas and the Papas), Stash Klossowski de Rola (the bon vivant son of painter Balthus) and couturier to the stars, Nudie Cohn (of ‘Nudie suit’ fame).
The show features pages from the script, a series of never-before-seen production stills and behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, alongside a screening of the only-existing footage from the film, a five minute showreel cut to the Flying Burrito Brother’s version of the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses”, which was recorded contemporaneously to the Saturation 70 shoot for the second Burrito Brothers album, Burrito Deluxe, which also features the band dressed in costumes from the film on its sleeve.
