Narrative
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan shook up the folk scene by playing electric and singing 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 made his first public appearance with an electric guitar, were filmed in the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Due to the resort’s designation as a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture, as well as other 19th- and 20th-century architectural motifs, minimal restoration was required.
