Peter Whitehead

Biography

Peter Lorrimer Whitehead (8 January 1937 - 10 June 2019) was an English writer, photographer and filmmaker who documented the counterculture in London and New York in the late 1960s. He is also known for his work as a director of promotional film clips (precursors to the modern music video) including a version of "Interstellar Overdrive" for Pink Floyd and several clips for The Rolling Stones.


Credits

Nothing to Do with Me Nothing to Do with Me (1968) Character: Self
A film portrait of Peter Whitehead that takes the form of an interview without questions - an experiment with Being and Time.
In the Beginning Was the Image In the Beginning Was the Image (2006) Character: Self
This documentary paints a fascinating portrait of Peter Whitehead, whose largely obscure yet important body of cinematic work from the 1960s and '70s includes The Fall (1969), a film that tracks the era's social and political unrest. After chronicling the frenetic lives of counterculture icons such as the Rolling Stones and Allen Ginsberg, Whitehead set his camera aside, quietly living out his life as a potter, writer and falconer.
The Falconer The Falconer (1998) Character: N/A
Chris Petit & Iain Sinclair's liminal, laminal tribute to underground filmmaker Peter Whitehead, featuring image manipulation by Dave Mckean & reminiscences from various countercultural characters. A fitting epitaph for an English margin walker.
Penny Slinger: Out of the Shadows Penny Slinger: Out of the Shadows (2017) Character: Self
"Penny Slinger - Out Of The Shadows" is the incredible, untold story of the British artist Penny Slinger and the traumatic events that led to the creation of her masterpiece, the 1977 photo-romance, 'An Exorcism'.
The Fall The Fall (1969) Character: Narrator (voice)
"The Fall" depicts certain scenes in New York City between October 1967 and March 1968, shot by the independent filmmaker, Peter Whitehead. It is a very personal documentary, and Whitehead appears in a large number of scenes, and we hear his lengthy ruminations on the state of the United States and the war in Vietnam.
