IU president selects rock flicks for film series

Associated Press

BLOOMINGTON – Indiana University President and rock fan Michael A. McRobbie has picked four movies involving rock stars from the 1960s and `70s to be shown in a special film series on the Bloomington campus.

The films for the President’s Choice Film Series at IU Cinema include “Woodstock,” “Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii,” “Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day” and “Don’t Look Back,” a documentary about Bob Dylan shot during a 1965 concert tour.

The film festival begins Monday and continues Feb. 11, Feb. 18 and April 29.

Tickets for all films in the series are $3 each.

McRobbie says rock has provided iconic performers and key moments in cultural history.
