Kings County Cinema Society will be hosting a screening of Murray Lerner’s triumphant concert doc Festival (1967, 97min). The documentary captures the critical years of transition for the American folk music scene from ’63-’66. Featuring Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Georgia Sea Island Singers, Peter Paul and Mary, and Donovan, among others. The standout, though, is Dylan, whose infamous plugged-in set at the famed roots festival in ’65 drew boos from the baffled crowd. A great rock doc and an important look at the evolution of the American music scene. So stop on by!
