    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bob Dylan turned 85 earlier this year, and to mark the occasion host Devon Strolovitch spoke to Michael Glover Smith, author of the new book Bob Dylan as Filmmaker: No Time to Think. Smith's book focuses mostly on the three films where Dylan can be considered the main auteur—Eat the Document (1966), Renaldo & Clara (1975), and Masked & Anonymous (2003)—but the conversation touches on his many other appearances on the big (and small) screen. Sunday, July 19 at 4 pm.
