Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins returns to Nitehawk Cinema with another batch of rarities. 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 early acoustic versions of “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Girl from the North Country;” an intense rendition of “Isis” from the Rolling Thunder Review, with Dylan in face paint; a delicate performance of “Simple Twist of Fate” featuring Scarlet Rivera on violin; The Band backing a swaggering run-through of “Baby Let Me Follow You Down;” a cover of Woody Guthrie’s “Vigilante Man” with Ry Cooder and Van Dyke Parks; 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.

Jenkins will present the films and engage in a post-screening discussion and audience Q&A with special guest Ira Kaplan of beloved indie-rock band Yo La Tengo.

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.
