Synopsis
At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shakes up his act on the folk music scene by going electric and siring rock as the voice of a generation – defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th century music.. Scenes filmed to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan first performed in public with an electric guitar, were filmed in the seaside resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal redress was needed, given the resort’s commitment to its designation as a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture as well as other 19th and 20th century architectural motifs.
