The Other Side of the Mirror (2007)

A very natural concert film documenting Bob Dylan's appearances at the Newport Folk Festival at the very beginning of his career when he quickly changed from young idealistic protest singer to abstract rock pioneer. The performances are allowed to speak for themselves with minimal editing or camerawork. The result is that we feel very much as though we were there, watching interrupted performances from the perfect vantage point, except the bonus here is that we can see Dylan's evolution over a much shorter time as quickly detect how he was developing beyond the folk scene - even down to his appearance. Illuminating for any Dylan fan.
