Scenario

In 1965, at the Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan revolutionized the folk scene by going electric and establishing rock as the voice of a generation, defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. The scenes filmed to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Dylan first performed in public with an electric guitar, were shot in the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal repair was required, given the resort’s commitment to being a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture and other 19th- and 20th-century architectural motifs.
