'Festival!' is the awe-inspiring trip down memory lane from esteemed director Murray Lerner. Documenting four legendary Newport Folk Festivals in the early '60s, this feature-length cinematic portrait encapsulates the origins of Folk music and features footage of a crucial period in its history. This film includes monumental performances from artists such as Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Peter Seeger, as well as Tex Logan & The Lilly Brothers, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, and Donovan, to name but a few. Bob Dylan's infamous and ground-breaking... electric performance is featured alongside Joan Baez performing 'Farewell Angelina', and even 'I Walk the Line' by Johnny Cash. 'Festival!' captures a significant time in folk music's tapestry, a pivotal point where the American cultural institution went through a vital transitional phase and these festivals proved hugely influential in the years to come. Digitally remixed and remastered and presented in Dolby and DTS Surround Sound, you can now enjoy every performance in the highest quality. Be sure not to miss out on a truly historical release.
