THE OTHERSIDE OF THE MIRROR: BOB DYLAN LIVE AT THE NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL 1963 - 1965, is an explosive documentary film packed with live concert footage never seen before during 1963 - 1965 of Bob Dylan at the Newport, Rhode Island Folk Festival. The series of concert captures the innocence and simplicity of Dylan's famous songs such as "With God on Our Side", "Blowin' in the Wind", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Chimes of Freedom", "Like a Rolling Stone", "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", any many others.

THE OTHERSIDE OF THE MIRROR is a genuine experience in the raw and a definite precursor to Todd Haynes film I'M NOT THERE.
