Stepping into the Unknown: Films from the Bob Dylan Center

Screening and Discussion with Director Steven Jenkins

Musical Performance by Special Guest Lloyd Cole

Tuesday July 22. 7:30

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 appearances at the 1963 and 1965 Newport Folk
Festivals in both acoustic and “going electric” modes; a rollicking 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor
Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” an apocalyptically rocking
“When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky” with Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers; loving tributes to Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett; a glimpse into the Center’s
film restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from
1966; and many more treasures from the Archive.

 

Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins will present the films and engage in a post-screeningdiscussion and audience Q & A moderated by British-born, Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole, who will conclude the program with a brief acoustic set.

From his classic 1984 debut Rattlesnakes (with former band The Commotions) to his most
recent solo album On Pain, Cole remains one of contemporary music’s most erudite and
innovative figures, often working within a Dylanesque tradition while also forging his own
unique songwriting and performing style.


The mission of the Bob Dylan Center is to inspire and celebrate fearless creativity by exploring the music and artistry of the Nobel Prize–winning singer-songwriter as a catalyst for personal expression and cultural change.
