From the Revelation Film Festival brochure:

"Harry Smith was one of the most important individuals in the American counter culture. Not only did he hand-paint his own films, re-invent animation, paint abstract murals in jazz clubs, and work as an ethnomusicologist, he also compiled the Anthology of American Folk Music. This boxed set of albums was released in the mid-fifties, and inspired a generation, sparking an urge to investigate folk, country and blues in numerous musicians, most famously Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead"
