Music has inspired filmmakers for generations, from 1927’s The Jazz Singer to the iconic 1970 rockumentary Woodstock to the recent Academy Award darling La La Land featuring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.

Join us at The Block for casual evenings, including snacks and cash bar, as we explore the creative marriage of movies and music through a series of three acclaimed films. Panel discussion to follow.

I’m Not There
Biography, Drama, Music
Six incarnations of Bob Dylan: an actor, a folk singer, an electrified troubadour, Rimbaud, Billy the Kid, and Woody Guthrie. Put Dylan’s music behind their adventures, soliloquies, interviews, marriage, and infidelity. Recreate 1960s documentaries in black and white. Put each at a crossroads, the artist becoming someone else. Jack, the son of Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, finds Jesus; handsome Robbie falls in love then abandons Claire. Woody, a lad escaped from foster care, hobos the U.S. singing; Billy awakes in a valley threatened by a six-lane highway; Rimbaud talks. Jude, booed at Newport when he goes electric, fences with reporters, pundits, and fans. He won’t be classified.

Rated R for language, sexuality and nudity.
