New documentaries about Bob Dylan and Steven Spielberg are among the slate of films that will premiere during the New York Film Festival, which begins in late September.
The hour-long Trouble No More constitutes lost footage from Dylans 1979/80 tour during his born again phase, with the singer performing in Buffalo and Toronto with an esteemed backing band in support of his Slow Train Coming.
Directed by Jennifer Lebeau, Trouble No Mores uncovered footage has all been newly restored, with Luc Sarte-penned sermons read by actor Michael Shannon interspersed throughout the live video. Dylan is rumored to be working on a Bootleg Series release dedicated to his gospel years.
