Earl Minnis will present Fifty Years in Sixty Minutes: An Evening with the Bob Dylan Center – Film Screening and Conversation with director Steven Jenkins and special guest Jeff Bridges, 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 28 at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara.
Spanning decades and musical styles, the 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.
Jenkins will present the films and engage in a post-screening discussion and audience Q&A with actor, musician and photographer Jeff Bridges, who worked with Dylan on the 2003 Larry Charles film “Masked and Anonymous.”
The evening’s selections include Dylan’s first film soundtrack for 1961’s “Autopsy on Operation Abolition;” a solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown” from the 1963 TV special “Folk Songs and More Folk Songs;” a 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” a rocking “When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky” with Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; tributes to Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett; and a look at the archive’s film restoration project with new footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from 1966,
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.
