Set to Duke Ellington's Daybreak Express, Pennebaker's debut film is a dynamic portrait of New York City filmed from the elevated third avenue train line. Ellington's jazz composition propels us through Manhattan's skyscraper punctuated skyline to create a visual poem of the city at its mid-century peak.

Don't Look Back plugs into the untamed energy of Bob Dylan's 1963 English tour. As well as behind the scenes footage of press interviews, jam sessions, and even an obligatory drunken hotel room scene, Pennebaker's seminal documentary captures both the public and private persona of this notoriously elusive musician.
