Don´t Look Back

Donn Alan Pennebaker / United States / 1967 / 95 min.


synopsis

The work of D. A. Pennebaker is absolutely vital to any understanding of the development of cinéma vérité outside of France, and his documentary about Bob Dylan is the essence of this style. First shown in 1967, it was an unexpected hit with audiences and subsequently became the model for future music documentaries even though it is nothing more than a record of Dylan’s 1965 tour of England. 

biography

Donn Alan Pennebaker (1925) joined Drew Associates in 1959 and contributed to its production of the series Living Camera, which influenced many artists of the cinéma vérité movement. He later founded his own company with Richard Leacock.
