Cinema Classics Seminar: Don’t Look Back

Cinema Classics Seminar: Don’t Look Back

at Bryn Mawr Film Institute

With Don’t Look Back (1965), Pennebaker employed the techniques he had pioneered to produce a rock documentary like none that preceded it. From its groundbreaking opening alleyway to its closing concert, the film connects viewers to an artist on stage and backstage, seen at both his most charming and his most cantankerous as he works, relaxes, and opines. The result is a documentary powered by a sense of immediacy and intimacy that continues to overwhelm audiences in all its grainy, black-and-white glory. Don’t Look Back is frequently cited as the greatest rock documentary ever made and, indeed, one of the greatest documentaries of any kind. Join us to find out why.
