Karen Dalton: In My Own Time (Documentary)
Dir. Richard Peete and Robert Yapkowitch, 2020, USA, 85 min
Idolised by Bob Dylan and later by artists as diverse as Nick Cave, Adele and Joanna Newsom, folk blues singer and guitarist Karen Dalton was a charismatic figure in the fertile music scene of 1960s New York. A reluctant live performer and a fiercely independent artist who fought against industry demands and directives, the Texas-born, Oklahoma-raised Dalton led a difficult and unconventional life until her premature death in 1993.
Since most photographs and film footage of Dalton have been lost or destroyed, this long-awaited film draws on her recordings, and interviews with loved ones and collaborators, to build a rich portrait of a singularly gifted musician and her hauntingly beautiful voice - and a body of work that has continued to grow in influence.
Event supported by the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
