Jacob Burns Film Center: Bound for Glory
In director Hal Ashby’s (Harold and Maude) stunning portrait of folk singer Woody Guthrie, David Carradine gives a career-best performance as the hard-travelin’, ramblin’ balladeer who sang of America’s sorrows and joys during the Great Depression, instilling hope in the hearts of downtrodden Americans everywhere. Featuring Academy Award-winning cinematography from legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler (The Conversation), Bound for Glory marked the first ever use of the Steadicam, a then-revolutionary camera stabilizing mount invented and operated by Garrett Brown, which forever changed how films could and would be shot.
