Observational Documentary

Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back

Dont Look Back is a 1967 documentary film by D.A. Pennebaker that covers Bob Dylan's 1965 concert tour of the United Kingdom.

Portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric

The film is very typical of observational documentary because the film observes the concert and provides the audience with a clear viewing. The film doesnt have much voice over because conversations and music being played provide a huge role in the film.
