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 Dylan’s first film soundtrack for 1961’s AUTOPSY ON OPERATION ABOLITION; a devastating solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown” from the 1963 TV special Folk Songs and More Folk Songs; 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 Archive’s film restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from 1966; and many more treasures.

Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins will present the films and engage in a post-screening discussion and audience Q&A with singer-songwriter John Doe (X, The Knitters), who toured with Dylan earlier this year.

The Bob Dylan Center gratefully acknowledges the support of Mary Herr Tally and Rusty Tally in making this program possible.

The Bob Dylan Center opened in Tulsa, OK, in May 2022 as the permanent home of the Bob Dylan Archive. The mission of the 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.
