PLOT
The Bob Dylan Center presents a far-ranging one-hour program of short films and videos from the Bob Dylan Archive featuring rare and previously unreleased clips of Dylan on stage and in the studio. Spanning decades and musical styles, this compendium of clips highlights Dylan’s arrival in Greenwich Village and his early protest songs. Selections include Dylan’s first film soundtrack for 1961’s “Autopsy on Operation Abolition;” a devastating solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown;” a rollicking 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” a loving tribute to 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, in keeping with the season, a look at the making of Dylan’s yuletide album “Christmas in the Heart.”
