In today’s episode, Film Forum presents a Q&amp;A with Robert Yapkowitz, co-director of the new documentary, KAREN DALTON: IN MY OWN TIME, about the mesmerizingly talented, and largely underrecognized folk musician Karen Dalton. The event was recorded on opening night - Friday, October 1st. Writing in The New York Times, Critic Lindsay Zoladz called Dalton “one of ’60s and ’70s folk music’s most skilled and idiosyncratic interpreters,” and writes that watching the film “feels like hanging on a porch with some of Dalton’s closest confidants… In fleeting glimpses, this long-lost musician comes vividly to life.” The Q&amp;A was moderated by Rolling Stone associate editor Angie Martoccio.

KAREN DALTON: IN MY OWN TIME - Robert Yapkowitz

Richard Peete

IN MY OWN TIME: A PORTRAIT OF KAREN DALTON explores Karen’s early days in Oklahoma where she experienced the harsh realities of growing up during the Great Depression and follows her through more than two decades at the margins of popular music. With two ex-husbands and two children by the time she was eighteen, she rejected the life of a housewife and set off for New York City. Constantly struggling to find her audience yet too close to her own music to compromise, Karen’s negotiations with fortune and fame were complex, but one thing is clear, she lived the music. While Karen projected a tough exterior, as a musician she was fragile and rife with insecurity. IN MY OWN TIME: A PORTRAIT OF KAREN DALTON focuses on Karen’s difficulties in pursuing success while trying to maintain a pure relationship with the creative process. Through stories from her closest friends, family and collaborators, combined with Karen’s rarely seen personal journals and poetry. We dive deep into the existential struggles she faced, and that ultimately led to her drug use and an untimely death due to AIDs related illness. Co-directors Richard Peete and Robert Yapkowitz join us to talk about an artist who eschewed the spotlight, admired by her peers, difficult to know and the creator of a body of work that will inspire others for as long as music is made.
