Double Dylan: Don’t Look Back / Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid18

USA | 1967 & 1973 | 3h 33m (+ intermission)

With James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown hitting theatres this month, we’re celebrating the iconic artist himself with a double dose of Dylan, featuring groundbreaking rockumentary Don’t Look Back (1967), followed by Sam Peckinpah’s wistful Western Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid (1973), which features a score written by Dylan (who also stars in the film).

7pm – Don’t Look Back
Filmed during Bob Dylan’s 1963 tour of the UK, D.A. Pennebaker’s groundbreaking “rockumentary” offers an intimate and unfiltered look at the iconic folk artist at the height of his creative powers. Blending concert footage with candid moments in hotel rooms, tense exchanges with fans and journalists, and evolving interactions with fellow musicians, the film captures Dylan as he navigates a transformative and polarising period in his career—just before his bold shift toward rock music.

9pm – Pat Garrett And Billy the Kid
Grizzled outlaw-turned-lawman Pat Garrett is hired by a group of wealthy cattle barons to track down his former friend, the youthful bandit Billy the Kid. Set against a haunting soundtrack by co-star Bob Dylan, Sam Peckinpah’s final western is a poignant meditation on integrity and freedom, casting the killing of Billy the Kid as one of the defining death knells of the mythic Old West.

Buy a ticket to this double-feature and see both films for a reduced price. Individual tickets to each film are also available.

There will be a 20min intermission between each film. The second film will run with no trailers and no ads.
