At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan shakes up the folk scene by going electronic and singing rock as the voice of a generation – defining one of the most revolutionary moments in 20th century music. Scenes were shot depicting the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan made his first public appearance on an electric guitar, and were filmed in the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal compensation was required because the resort was committed to designating it a National Historic Landmark due to its focus on Victorian architecture and other architectural motifs from the 19th and 20th centuries.
