Our Film Series presents The Last Waltz (Martin Scorsese, 1976), celebrating the 50th anniversary of the concert.

Seventeen years after joining forces as the backing band for rockabilly cult hero Ronnie Hawkins, and ten years after backing Bob Dylan on his first world tour, Canadian roots rockers The Band call it quits with a lavish farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day 1976. The film features standout performances by Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Muddy Waters, along with interviews tracing the group's history and life on the road.

Each showing includes a discussion with University of Washington film historian Lance Rhoades.
