Synopsis
At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shook himself on the wall of folk music, switching to the electric guitar and declaring rock the voice of a generation, which defined one of the most transformative moments in music of the 20th century. The walls shot to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan performed his electric guitar in public for the first time, were shot in the seaside resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal remediation was required given the resort’s commitment to its National Historic Landmark status due to its concentration of Victorian architecture, as well as other architectural motifs from the 19th and 20th centuries.
