A screening of a dozen short film and video clips
featuring Bob Dylan on stage and in the studio, followed by a conversation with Bob
Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins & a special guest!
Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins returns to Cinema
Arts Centre following last year’s sold-out event with another batch of
rarities. Spanning decades and musical styles, this far-ranging one-hour
program of short films and videos from the Bob Dylan Archive features rare and
previously unreleased clips of Dylan on stage and in the studio. Selections
include early acoustic versions of “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Girl from the
North Country;” an intense rendition of “Isis” from the Rolling Thunder Review,
with Dylan in face paint; a delicate performance of “Simple Twist of Fate”
featuring Scarlet Rivera on violin; The Band backing a swaggering run-through
of “Baby Let Me Follow You Down;” a cover of Woody Guthrie’s “Vigilante Man”
with Ry Cooder and Van Dyke Parks; a glimpse into the Archive’s film
restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby
Blue” from 1966; and many more treasures.
This program features a brand-new lineup of films and archival clips. (approx.
100 minutes)

will present the films and engage in a post-screening discussion and audience
Q&A with special guest

creativity by exploring the music and artistry of the Nobel Prize–winning
singer-songwriter as a catalyst for personal expression and cultural change.
