50th anniversary screening! Ashby’s period-perfect portrait of folk singer Woody Guthrie (David Carradine) charts his Depression-era journey from vagabond to voice of labor. This was the first major film to use the Steadicam, and the Oscar-winning cinematography from Haskell Wexler gives the Dust Bowl a golden glow. “A hauntingly beautiful socio-political film” (Ruth Batchelor). 35mm print from Park Circus.
“American Tunes” features films that investigate the meaning of America through song, and is co-presented by the Yale Film Archive and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
