  • On 18 August 1986, Bob Dylan held a press conference at the National Film Theatre in London. Promoting his latest acting venture, Hearts of Fire, Dylan shared a stage with director Richard Marquand, producer Iain Smith, and fellow cast members Fiona Flanagan and Rupert Everett. In a remarkably long interview, the usually-reticent Dylan answered questions on a range of subjects including how he came to be involved in the film, why he wasn't writing funny songs about Ronald Reagan, the timeless power of The Times They Are a Changin', and moving on from his work in the 1960s.
    Only three minutes of the Hearts of Fire press conference footage made it into ITN's bulletin on the day of recording. The original rushes of the interview were recently recovered and digitised by the ITN Archive team, and are being shared publicly here for the first time.

    I'm sure that is the journalist/biographer Phillip Norman asking the 1st question to Dylan, and continous further impertinent questions trying to provoke a reaction. Dylan just shrugs him off like a fart blowing in the wind.

    Thanks for posting this video. I was a paid extra for this movie. I was involved in some of the concert filming which took place in Bristol. It was such a memorable day. Watching Bob do his thing and everybody trying to coax him into singing or saying something when the cameras were not rolling. Bob spent much of the day just sitting on the edge of the drum riser riffing on his guitar. We all had to scream and shout when the various scenes were shot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a turkey of a movie. But great memories, especially for somebody like me as a lifelong Dylan fan.

    I wonder why journalists haven’t developed a culture of self critisism within they profession.
    Why don’t they write: ”Reporter N.N. asked idiotic questions from Mr Dylan” or ”Newspaperman N.N. exposed his total stupidity in front of the international press.” Or ” Photographer N.N. was caught on trying to shoot a singer visiting toilet.”
    Reporters should be paid best, when they catch each other from stupidity and provocation.
