Festival (1967)
Black and white footage of performances, interviews, and conversations at the Newport Folk Festival, from 1963 to 1966. The headliners are Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan, who's acoustic and electric. Son House and Mike Bloomfield talk about the blues; John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee show its range. The Osborne Brothers perform bluegrass. Donovan, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Mimi and Dick Farina, and others less well known also perform. Several talk musical philosophy, and there's a running commentary about the nature and appeal of folk music. The crowd looks clean cut.

Journey 4 Artists (2014)
Journey 4 Artists is a unique feature length documentary which demonstrates how the power of music has the ability to elevate both the performer and audience beyond divergent religious, political, and ideological boundaries. 
In this documentary, world music serves as a catalyst for four artists:  Theodore Bikel, Tamara Brooks, Merima Ključo and Shura Lipovsky, who come from Jewish, Muslim, Bosnian, Dutch, French, Greek, Russian and Austrian cultures to share their extraordinary passion and purpose which is to make music that transcends the discordance of the ordinary world. 
 Journey 4 Artists is an authentic, poignant and sometimes difficult exploration of the human spirit through an artful blend of music, personal narrative and visual history, all of which demonstrates how far we all have come while encouraging us to continue our movement forward towards acceptance and peace. .
