Scenario
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Young Bob Dylan revolutionizes the folk music scene, switching to electric rock and recasting 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 first played an electric guitar in public, were filmed in the seaside resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal compensation was necessary given the resort’s commitment to National Historic Landmark designation due to its concentration of Victorian architecture as well as other 19th- and 20th-century architectural motifs.
