DIR/SCR D.A. Pennebaker FEATURING Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Donovan
DON'T LOOK BACK is a portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubadour, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack's Subterranean Homesick Blues, Dylan is playful and enigmatic in this one-of-a-kind documentary.
This screening is held in conjunction with the Skirball Cultural Center Exhibition:
Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956–1966
On view February 8 through June 8, 2008
