Plot
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan shakes up his act on the folk music scene by going electric and birthing 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 shot in the coastal resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal remediation was required, given the resort’s commitment to its designation as a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture, as well as other architectural motifs from the 19th and 20th centuries.
